Too bad the judge didn't go for more.

All these psycho sports parents make me ill anyways. Geez - isn't it supposed to be that the sports are for the kids to participate, and the parents are to cough up money for equipment and watch?

No, it's so you can live through your kid, and get all gung-ho and insane about it. (Or so it seems nowadays)

 

[YourFuneral]

Ah, come on! He only beat the other kids dad profusely about the head and neck a few times... It wasn't that bad...

Let me explain. There are all these parents who get their kids to play little league baseball/hockey/soccer/football/whatever. They don't get their kids to play so that their kid has fun, they do it so they can brag about how good he is to the other parents. I also suspect they do it so they can feel like they accomplished something Apparently it's got so out of hand two parents killed each other fighting over the kids' hockey game.

My parents are like that (well, with schoolwork) but I didn't know they were American?

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Yeah it's not just American really. I guess it is more American for it to happen with sports maybe?

 

[aegis]

my parents were like that about tennis ...
until i lose my first official game 6/0 6/0

i had the bad luck to play my first game against the champion of my region ...

 

[slingblade]

actually only one of the parents died, and the true reason that parents get this way is because they failed as athletes when they were in school, and they are trying to redeem themselves through their childeren. how do ya like that? i never took psych either!

i'll be back, gotta go call the pizza guy.......

 

[bleedingskeptic]

i think that the hockey dad should be regarded as more of a criminal than john walker. what a douche, he kills another kids father in cold blood because of a childish squabble.

If the judge had gone for more, there would have been a sentence appeal, and Junta would have won. The prosecution only asked for 6-10, and to give more is to be standing on thin ice, legally, as one can make the case for unfair punishment.

So sayeth the criminal justice major!

lol...



You see that? I'm just over here being cool, with my little sunglass smiley guy
