PARENTS AND SPORTS WHY DO PARENTS GET SOOO ANGRY AT 10 YEAR OLD SPORT GAMES

Why do parents get so angry and ugly when it comes to sports? Our child is in sports and during our last game parents were calling our team losers, cheaters and the kids are 10 years old ...the parents 35 plus. The kids dont keep scores the coaches do ..so why blame the children.

Thanks .This is our first time going thru this our ddaughter is 10 years old loves volleyball but dsnt want to play again in the spring due to this kind of behavior.I tried to explain to her some parents get overly involved but we'll see if she comes around by spring. I just hope the parents can behave and remeber thEse are young impressionable children. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY I WAS IN SHOCK WITH THESE PARENTS !

These are people who couldn't achieve their own dreams and are trying to relive through their own kids what they were unable to do. They are immature and abusive. They cannot be reasoned with and I am sorry for their kids. I coached little league for many years while my three oldest played baseball. I had to remove parents for bad behavior and suffer coaches who were manipulative and acted like it was professional ball when it came time to draft players, overworking some kids and ignoring others. Some people just shouldn't have children...or be exposed to them.
