Parents Code Of Ethics
by bill - 2014-08-06 ( culture / humor / sports ) [html version]
Signing my daughter up for softball, I had to laugh at this (stripped down) Parents Code of Ethics:
- I will encourage good sportsmanship
- I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of my personal desire to win.
- I will remember that the game is for the youth -- not adults.
I guess they got sick of parents yelling and screaming and getting into fights!
UPDATE: I ended up being fairly obnoxious, myself, out there on the sidelines. You really do get caught up in it when it's your kid on the field.
