How many of these parents have generic "law and order patriotism" drivel on their Facebook pages?

What about the people in it leads you to believe they are “law and order patriotism” types?

Are you aware that youth football participants in Saugus and Salem are racially and so economically diverse?

My experience with multiple years of soccer coaching fuels my speculations. One of my teams had kids speaking 8 different languages at home.

Seen it - the desecrated black stripe flag types are also the thin-skinned might makes right types. Whoooda thunk? And, yes, this transcends race and ethnicity in many cases. Fascism is a global problem and its fans migrate here, too.

Everyone went over to Kowloon after the game for some relaxing scorpion bowls. Everybody's good now.

Magoo sez: Let coaches coach. Let players play, let refs ref, and let parents provide positive reinforcement to players without being dingleberry snorting chortlebergs. Magoo.

Let there be video of this whole thing with clear images of all the psycho parents and let them be recognized by their neighbors and forever mocked and shunned...oh wait, that'll only embarrass their kids and bring ridicule and they don't deserve that...dammit! Why do people suck? [sigh]

...that it won't be news to their neighbors.

South Park is satire, not a how-to manual.

The kids are easy, the parents are a PITA

Coaches too.

I walked out of my nephew’s youth hockey game after the coach excused the team’s most skilled yet most vicious player for attacking his very own son and then after the refs disqualified the player from future games during that meet, Bad Dad Coach then set a marvelous example by dressing the disqualified player in another player’s shirt and putting him back in the next day’s game.

Disqualified Vicious Player’s parents were applauding their son and coach and claiming his anger issues were secondary to winning the game.

Coach’s Son who happened to be a close friend of my nephew couldn’t play because his neck was injured in the attack and told us his father told him to stop being a baby about it.

Not a single parent on that team objected to Bad Coach’s cheating. My nephew and other teammates supported the son but said nothing because their parents were silent.

Unreal way to teach kids about sportsmanship.
Coach continued for many years. Son moved out of the house and seems to be a better person than his dad.
