Dad bites officers at son's pee wee game

You can't make sense of this stuff. That's why we call it nonsense. A 27-year-old father was in the stands during his son's pee wee football game last weekend. Bear in mind his son plays on the 5-6 year-old team. Dad got upset because he felt his son didn't get the ball enough during the closing seconds of the game. Somehow, two police officers wound up bitten and the father was banned from the league for life. I know you don't believe me. So, I'll let the good folks from FOX59 in Indianapolis tell the story (email subscribers click here).

Once again, someone stepped out of their role and chaos ensued. Moreover, the little boy's football career is likely over. Now his mom or another relative may pick up the slack, but the dad probably won't give permission for the boy to participate in the league anymore. Stories like this one seem to be never-ending. That's why we must remain vigilant and make sure we maintain a positive sports environment for our kids. Whether you have unruly parents in your league or not, take time to order the booklet Through a Child's Eyes...A Parent's Guide to Improving Youth Sports from the St. Louis Sports Commission. This publication shows parents, coaches, and fans their proper role in sports and how to create the best atmosphere for kids. Even if you've ordered the booklet before, order more. Your parents and more importantly your kids will be better for it. Until next time...

Be a Good Sport!
