This is hilarious. We went from rude comments from parents, to the effects the parents have on the children. In my opinion, a good athlete wouldnt let the parents of himself or other players effect his game. And if they do effect his game, then its the coaches job to jerk his butt in line and screw his head on straight. If the comments are really that bad then why does the ump not seem to mind? You (bleachercoach) pretty much said that the entire ball park heard the "woman with the red hair" and her "rude comments". So obviously if her comments were that loud the ump heard her also. But he didn't do much about it so the comments must not have been too bad. Also, I really doubt what she said was crossing the line. I know this lady. Yeah, she gets loud, but shes never obscene.
