Softball and Baseball parents have become some of the worst people on Earth. It’s like another “culture”, except they have a lot of money and spend it very foolishly.

Well said 7:39. Absolutely spot on.

So sad and pathetic. The poor child crying and not knowing owing what to do is the saddest part.

They are spending money that they don’t have on futures that don’t exist for kids that would have been happier if they could have played a game against their friends from school on the weekend and then gone to the pool.

"World Series" in Laurel. Imagine that. No telling how big the rings were.

Why are all softball dads fat?

Anti-depressants

Never allow ANY team from Citronelle, Alabama (Mobile) to play in ANY baseball tourney in the Jackson/Vicksburg/Madison/Rankin area. Their redneck parents (mostly the loudmouth moms) were the worst I have ever seen in my 50 years of paying attention.

7:07 - I'd add Pearl to that list, too.

Had something similar happen, on a much worse scale, years ago while playing Babe Ruth ball. Believe this, your children will remember this forever, and not in a good way.

@10:14 it seems like every game played now days is “Worlds” and they get a ring. Unless they’re on tv playing against those Dominican kids, I don’t wanna hear it!

The culture!

It's the Diamond Youth Baseball (and Softball) organizations. They have a World Series, kind of like how Little League does their own, Dizzy Dean does, etc. Not that hard to imagine.

Our pastor recently said that being a Christian in the American South is one of the most dangerous places to be a Christian because everyone speaks and looks Christianese, checking the box on Sunday but living like the world six days a week mistakenly secure in their salvation. But they justify their idols like children's sports dressed up like family time, debt justified as an end to means. It's tragic and sad they either can't see it or ignore it. Many of them troll the various social media platforms decrying black on black crime, that they're children aren't gang banging or slaughtering but meanwhile they're raising narcissist, a self-centered debt laden generation wondering what went wrong when a 5-year-old marriage ends in adultery, slander and with innocent children caught in the middle. Rinse & repeat. And here we have the proverbial "it starts at home!"

This ain't about the children.

9:13 I've never heard it stated any better than what you wrote. A PERFECT observation!

At least the bat didn't connect with anyone.

Cue this to all the race card players when KF posts a link to blacks fighting. There is trash everywhere.

Been to a thousand softball games and never seen a fight. An old umpire friend of mine is telling me this started when two opposing players got into a scuffle. When a parent got in between.......another, ignorant moron parent threw a punch.

Nice going Mississippi - this made nationwide news on Fox.
