WTF is wrong with sport parents??

[The_Ghost]

When i was playing and coaching it blew me away how crazy some parents are. These people gotta stop living through their kids! I read about a half dozen of these stories a year. Let the kids play for the love of the sport! Its not just hockey but most sports.



'Sad day for hockey'

Man charged after minor hockey coach choked

By KEVIN CONNOR, SUN MEDIA

Assault charges stem from more rink rage



TORONTO -- Bradley Stephen Desrocher covered his face and raced like a bat out of hell to a waiting vehicle after being released on bail yesterday on charges he choked the coach of his son's hockey team. "A man attended his son's Minor Atom AAA hockey game at Chesswood Arena. When his son was benched for missing team practices the man became angry and started voicing his displeasure loudly to the coach of the team," Toronto Police Const. Wendy Drummond said in a news release.

"He approached the player's bench, continuing to yell at the coach, then reached over the plexiglas and grabbed the coach around the throat," the statement said. "Several attempts were made by witnesses to stop the attack but were unable to before the victim collapsed to the floor."

INDICTABLE OFFENCE

Desrocher, a 47-year-old, large man standing 6-foot-4, committed "the indictable offence of choking and did choke Donald Mark Teskey by using his hands and forearm," according to police charges filed in Toronto court.

The coach suffered scratches, swelling and redness from the attack, spectators at the game said in an online hockey chat room.

"The coach was sent down to the floor. This is a sad day for hockey," one person wrote.

"It was right out of an episode of COPS. I witnessed this first hand and have never seen anything like it in all my years at the rinks," another person wrote.

Others wrote about what a good man the coach is and how horrible it was for his son, who plays on the team and was a witness.

The Jr. Canadiens Hockey Club issued a release yesterday saying its officials wished to express their great regret and disappointment concerning the unfortunate events.

"Our coach involved in the incident is a person of outstanding character," said Harvey Shapiro, president of the Jr. Canadiens.

"We do not wish to comment on the specifics of (the) events. We believe that the matter will be dealt with in the appropriate manner."

After being released from custody yesterday afternoon, Desrocher was driven by his wife to an Etobicoke, Ont., pizza parlour.

When approached by Sun Media, Desrocher pulled his jacket up over his head and said, "leave me alone. I have no comment."

The couple then sped away in their black SUV.

I've seen it as well... Parents yelling at officials, Coaches on both sides and even at other kids that aren't there own..

I came real close to being arrested when I confronted a Dad that was yelling
at my Daughter for making a small mistake on the field.

I told him that if he said one more word regarding my child that I was going to get arrested for assault.

Best one over all was a little petite Mom that did a similar thing to some Dad that was trash talking calling her kid a porkchop..

A porkchop? Damn.


Anyway... there was a thing in the news here last year where the opposing team in little league football was disqualified because their parents kept throwing FIRECRACKERS at the home team. No shit.

Yeah, parents get apeshit at kids games. My daughters been playing sports for a few years and its funny how some parents, (and coaches) just lose it. I coach my daughters soccer team, and hands down the worst part about it is dealing with dumb shit parents. I also bench players for missing practice, but it's not the players fault, usually the parent is the one in charge of getting the kid to practice.

When his son was benched for missing team practices

When my Daugher was younger and played Co-ed soccer, some of the dads AND MOMs would frequently yell at their sons things like: "Take Her OUT, she's just a Little girl"..

I would laugh my ass off when the girls would sometimes attack and take the ball from him. Especially sweet when my daughter as a defender did this, and the boy ate dirt.

Once even I enjoyed mocking this Mom with a loud "BWAHAHAHA, that was great" ...

Also sad is the shoving, bitching and trash talking that goes on out on the field, and the the girl players are the worst..

What most people dont realize is that soccer is a very phsyical sport. You can't "shove" but you can run full speed and send the opposing player flying, as long as you are playing for the ball. However I dont allow trash talking or bitching.

I understand. I played center defender in school
You can lean in with the shoulder/body all you want, just dont lift the arm enough to be seen.

I've seen 13-14 yr old girls running and leaning in like this and one stops and yells "GET OFF ME YOU BITCH" and shoves her in the chest with both arms. Only sometimes do they get carded.

Best part of this is the soccer dads/moms that think they are like, Pele' or something, and start yelling when their daughter is being legally leaned on. And then say nothing when their kid does an illegal takle take down from behind unless she gets called for it and then they are bitchin again..
