It is disgusting how the slightest bit of competition has the ability to bring out the worst in some people. Remember how back in the day it was a fun event for the whole family to go out and watch the little league baseball and watch their kids play, with parents being proud to just see their child on the field and not really care about whether their childs team was winning or now? Well it isn’t like that anymore at all in some places. Some parents have an ugly competitive streak and treat their children like they are pro players or something like that, expecting a win instead of hoping for one. The parents get angry at the referees when they are in the stands and yell abuse, other parents from the other team chip in and before you know it these poor kids are watching their parents getting into brawls in the stands over a game for children. It is disgusting. Poker is definitely not to blame for the actions of these violent morons, the best we can do is try to keep them out from the game and show everyone that we are not like that at all.
