Parents on the sidelines getting worse.

Did they really ? Boy or girl? If that is true and coach knew it . Circumstances ? We’re they short a player and coach disclosed to other team beforehand? Not saying that’s right but…

I think it is the COVID. Not just soccer...road rage, airports, everything.

Please, this was long before COVID. I remember the burning of cities and violence/ riots in MD and Fegurson, etc. People are not being held accountable for their bad actions. And bad behavior not held in check gets out of control.
something's gotta give.

The country definitely is going a bit cray cray

^^^ "a bit"? The world is on fire right now. And the intentional legalized propaganda (signed into law by obama 2012) being fed to us on the daily is the cause. And most of you likely were/are unaware as it happened without much fanfare.

And that is just Bayside teams, can you imagine if you include Seacoast parents thinking that its ok that 16 a year old can play against a bunch of 12 year olds. I mean what is this world coming to.

What on earth are you talking about?

Soccer is hardly alone

The head of a New Jersey-based travel baseball league decried a “toxic” environment in youth sports after an incident in which an umpire was allegedly attacked by a coach during a 13-and-under tournament.

The United States Amateur Baseball League called attention to the assault in a Facebook post this month in which it said the 72-year-old umpire had his jaw broken in two places and needed “extensive dental surgery.” The umpire was said to have ejected a coach for violating tournament rules by aggressively arguing a call, at which point the coach approached the umpire and delivered a “sucker punch.”

USABL President & CEO Brian Delahant subsequently told NJ.com the umpire is recovering from his injuries and recently attended a game featuring the team that had been playing against the one whose coach attacked him. The umpire’s intention with the visit, Delahant said, was to show he was feeling better and lift the spirits of “kids [who] were pretty shaken” by the episode.

Coach goes to jail, loses lots of money (probably his double wide), and is banned from attending any youth sport. Anything less than this encourages the behavior

Toxic parents need to be banned from the game all together

Agreed but rather see toxic coaches banned from the game or clubs if it's a coach/owner
