A despicable brawl broke out at a 15U softball "World Series" game in Mississippi over the weekend.
In the latest example of parents taking youth sports way, way too seriously, a brawl broke up at an apparent "World Series" event in Laurel, Mississippi. Parents and players from Texas and Louisiana got into an all-out fistfight, as objects were being thrown around, as well.
Both sides are being blamed, with parents on both teams blaming the opposing sides.
"(Louisiana) lost the game 9-4. They talked at and berated the TX pitcher and other TX players a majority of the game. After the LA fans continued making remarks, including calling the TX players and fans 'white trash,' the TX coaches tried to have the umpires handle the situation," SoftballInsider alleges. "The umpires didn’t do anything. Texas won, and the LA parents/coaches/team were waiting near the parking lot where the Texas team were parked. One mom from LA (purple shirt lady who is still yelling and cursing at the end), started screaming at the Texas players (teenagers mind-you) as they walked past.
"As the players attempted to leave, the mom followed them towards the parking lot, where the player who was being screamed at had her mom approaching. The TX mom verbally confronted the other mom, and then one of the LA MALE coaches proceeded to push the TX mom.
"Let me repeat— LA STARTED THE AGGRESSION."
Not everyone agreed, though.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I was there too! The Texas players kicked our bats, yelled at our girls, stuck their tongues out, threw the ball in the air after every inning and on and on. THEN the players talked shit to one of our moms and she told her to keep walking," a Louisiana softball mom April countered. "Then her mom and dad came over and the dad decided to throw a punch. He got his ass handed to him! No one berated their pitcher! She was cocky and arrogant FOR NO REASON! Our girls have never ever ever ever had an issue with a team ever. Not to mention EVERY SINGLE TEAM THERE COMMENTED ON HOW AWFUL TEXAS WAS AND THEIR FANS!!
Fans rip parents for both teams
"Why cant they just get along? They cant go anywhere without acting up lol 😂," one fan wrote.
"Travel ball in the south should have a reality show on TV. It would be epic," one fan added.
"Yeah something that should not happen at a children’s game for sure," one fan added.
It's despicable behavior. We promise: Your kid's sporting event is not that serious.
