A truly sad commentary on our times.

It is sad when the kids act better than the parents.

Those were the rules posted on the fence in front of stands at our ball fields.

…. but Mom! …..

Presumably “fowl language” is OK.

I assume that (on bird terms anyway) this is equal-age baseball. That being so, why are they so differently sized?

An American fan tradition since 1839.

Or fowl language either!

Who’s gonna kick ’em out? My Badminton racket was made to smash birdies.

But, Tennis is my racket. Thank you. Drive carefully and don’t forget to tip your waiters and waitresses.

“All right, guys, I don’t want any foul language, questioning my decisions, or childish behavior…that’s what I’M here for!”

I miss the days when playing games was just about having fun.

I coached youth leagues in the eighties for both my son and daughter, and I had no problems with parents at all. It was great!

Ain’t that the sad truth
