    My kids little league tried that, lasted a game before they realized that having a biased ref that doesn’t know the rules doesn’t make for a fun experience for the kids.

    One of those sounds great in theory things, which is why it’s probably such a popular fallacy to spread.

      Ah that sucks. I guess I should have seen that coming. Some people just won’t learn =/ I wish there was a better way to prevent these parents from ruining the game for everyone.

        Kick them out, and if it becomes an issue unfortunately the kid may need to go to so everyone else’s experience isn’t diminished.

        Hopefully the parent learns after spending money on a few.
