A Minnesota state lawmaker, who was a former sports referee, proposed a bill that would fine disruptive fans at youth sports games up to $1,000. It is part of an effort to deter violence and unruly behavior at high school games and little league matchups.

I'm glad I'm old with only a few years left to me. The world that my grandchildren are inheriting is not going to be fit to live in.
It's a main reason I left officiating HS and youth football, crazy fans, players, coaches…it could get bad. People have no self-discipline or concept of how wrong what they're doing is.
Stop giving them your kids. These Referees, police and school officials are out of control.
I don't understand why parents are getting into fights over their own kid's games, they are just embarrassing themselves. It's really sad that the parents only care about beating the other team. The school district needs to create a new rule that says, if any parent cause trouble and disrupts the game. That way, their teen won't be allowed to participate in any sport for the rest of the year, and the parents will have $2,000 as punishment. Here's another thing that could work, but it could also cause some trouble. The school district could eliminate all sports in schools across the country in the near future, that will teach the parents to set a better example for their kids.
Dear Minnesota-istan……
Forget about unruly parents at soccer games….focus on your immigrant problem instead.
People came out of Covid lockdown even more angrier than they were! Grow up!
When asked what he thought about civilization Gandhi said “it would be a good idea”
Good luck with that MN. We can't even penalize sore losers in presidential elections.
No, just say both teams forfeit, and they both lose.
Great parenting practices/ NOT…
Make it $1,000 and a couple days in jail and then you'll see some change. Until then, this won't do it. People will gladly pay $1,000 to fight another guy for their kid's scholarship.
If only they were that severe with shoplifters.
