It gets even better, after the game out in the parking lot, a parent from the team that played her team starts yelling at her about her older players and she pushes the guy which starts a free for all. By the time the cops arrived, most of the people had dispersed but they had it all on camera.
All of this transpires on a 3rd grade girls soccer game.. sheesh!

I had a parent tell me something about 20 years ago when I first started coaching youth sports. As long as there is someone keeping score, there is no such thing as recreational league sports.
