Saunting Morning.

Bustin's number one for hip hop jam in ninety four
or five.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Hi, everybody, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm not living this life, but I know this is
a life that's to come for me. Sandi, this is
every weekend for you. Parents are out of control at
youth sports games.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It is out of control. I can't even begin to
tell you the stuff that parents do. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I mean, no, listen. It doesn't stop at youth. It
goes all the way up. My best friend is a
she's a college basketball coach. It kind of never ends
depending on how the parent is. But a Taunton mother,
like right up the street, accused of assaulting two refs
at a hockey arena in Foxborough.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
It all happened after a boys varsity hockey game here
at the Foxborough Sports Center earlier this month. Take a
look at some of that video. It's actually video from
the arena cameras here after a January fourth game between
Mansfield and Taunton. In shows the Taunton mother stepping onto
the ice after the hockey game ended. A few minutes later,
two referees skated toward her. Foxborough Police say shortly after
(01:07):
that the woman started assaulting them. That mom, who has
not been named, is said to face criminal charges. Now
many hockey parents saying they've seen similar conduct at youth
sporting events over the years.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
This is nuts, it's normal, which is sad to say
it's normal to see.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I understand being passionate. Your kid works hard, all of
the things. Refs make bad calls. Sometimes you're gonna beat
them all up every year.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You're saying this now because you're not really in the
mid I know how passionate you are.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
But he's of assaulting to referee.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Imagine somebody is doing and you know this, that they're
doing your daughter dirty.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
At least that's how you feel.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
And you're like, yo, you're not giving her no tom No,
you're calling every follow up.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
You're gonna get upset.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Something out. I might yell from.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Somebody marked this day.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Please, similar to jail over a youth worst game.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That means nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Now we're in college and the games are counting for things. Maybe,
but I'm not so.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Eating anybody up.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't think it's gonna get physical. You can yell yeah,
So we have a mom in our town. And the
issue she has is the minute somebody cheers for the
other team like too loud, she starts challenging the other person.
And there been times where it's gotten like heated, and
sometimes I want to go up to them go like, hey,
you can cheer, it's okay. You don't have to turn
this into a fight. It gets crazy. It's crazy, Yo.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
It got so bad at our school, my son's high school,
that they're no longer allowed to bring anybody but their parent.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You're lying, that's it, honestly.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You can't bring relatives, you can't bring cousins. It's a
good idea. Nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
The only person who's allowed with you into that gym
when the game is on is your parent, and if
you're not there with your parent, nobody else can come in. Yeah,
that's how bad. You be shocked that idea. That's a
good idea. Yeah, you'll see it gets passionate because again,
you might be calm and collected, you know what I mean,
and let your team be down and then you feel
like the rest are not doing right. All of a sudden,
once starts chirping next to you. Another one chirp's on
(03:04):
the left of you, you start joining in in the chirping.
All of a sudden, there's a whole riot.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I would never want to be a ref. They're so hated.
It's they're like politicians.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I will say, I've heard that hockey seems to be
like the worst, but basketball is a close second.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Though.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I would love to know why that mother was that
upset that she decided to like physically hit the ref,
like maybe her son like break his leg, lose a tooth.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And that is why that's the only reason why you
go on the ice and fight a ref, because you're.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Crazy to me again, yelling out like come on, man,
you miss that called fine. You know it will be
tough for me, especially if one of the girls plays basketball,
because I know and understand the sport.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But nobody's beating anybody.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Like it's laughable because it's so it's like lunacy.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I have to imagine that your dad gone into some trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like back in the day, my dad got kicked out
of probably double digit of my high school games.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He was also evicted from a few of my college
games for yelling at refs. He never we never got
a single oh, but he would go in on the refs.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
For sure, Like, I can understand that. I can back
that part up. At the minute you get physical, you
were a psychotic act part Like, dude.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It also at the end of the day, isn't going
to change anything.

tournament and of course I'm sparring with my opponent and
she was yelling and screaming in Spanish mantello meaning kill him.

out of a high school basketball game before I was
even in high school. I've told you guys this story.
And the high school coach was like, this is what
I have to look forward to for four years. The
girl doesn't even play here yet. It was always they
were mad at me because of the way I played.
(07:04):
So there's a video going viral. My cousin said into
me and he goes, we know this feeling, and it's uh,
it's a kid in the car and the dad's like,
you didn't rebound, you were passing, you were being selfish.

be like, damn it. I knew if I didn't play bad,
I was going to hear it in the play with
scholarship though, So yeah, no, it did. That did that.
It definitely did.
Speaker 1 (07:24):

kids are better than they actually are. Started on that
because those are the ones.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Who are real.

Forget the refs. Even the coaches hate us. Sometimes. I
was one of those where I'm telling my son, you know,
