Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Some little leagues have a similar rule. If a parent verbally abuses an umpire enough that parent must umpire a certain number of games to see just how hard it is. Punishment fits the crime perfectly.
My kids little league tried that, lasted a game before they realized that having a biased ref that doesn’t know the rules doesn’t make for a fun experience for the kids.
One of those sounds great in theory things, which is why it’s probably such a popular fallacy to spread.
Ah that sucks. I guess I should have seen that coming. Some people just won't learn =/ I wish there was a better way to prevent these parents from ruining the game for everyone.
Kick them out, and if it becomes an issue unfortunately the kid may need to go to so everyone else’s experience isn’t diminished.
Hopefully the parent learns after spending money on a few.
I think they should do it with a less decision maker position, like water bringer or towel handler.
