In reply to: In re: getting offers posted by ACross

some of these parents and coaches treat 8U baseball like it was game 7 of the world series. It becomes kind of a lord of the flies thing too, where one or two parents from one side are so obnoxious that it gets other people from both sides drawn like moths to the flame to "defend their kids" and it escalates.

This was from a 7U game (not tournament baseball, so likely some type of little league/rec league game):
