Parents behavior brings cancellation

Coeur d’Alene Jr. Tackle President Bob Fitzgerald has seen viral videos of unruly youth sports parents and coaches exchanging blows.

He doesn’t ever want to see a localized version.

Last week, Fitzgerald’s league took a preventative measure to avoid such scenarios: The league canceled this season’s remaining games with teams from Post Falls, citing what he described as Post Falls’ sideline misconduct of its parents and coaches.

“We canceled the games with Post Falls to try and get this stopped,” Fitzgerald said. “We don’t want a YouTube video of a melee at Person Field or in Post Falls. This is little boys football, and we are not interested in the bad behavior”/ Ryan Collingswood , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
