Who knew that son's practice of ignoring his parents at home would come in handy as it did tonight? A parent went on the field and chewed Cory out for a call he made (correctly I might add)...she was screaming at the top of her voice. It was all I could do not to go over and help defend Cory but he did a fine job. He warned her..then the other umpire had to warn her and said if she didn't leave the field, her team would forfeit the game. She left...but then she chewed her coaches out for not getting out there and arguing the call. So, ignoring his mom and dad at home..trained him for ignoring parents while he umpires/referees games. Hah! Parents need to chill out and the the kids play the game. The games would be so much more relaxed.
