the Little League coach

[milagros317]

Joe was the coach of a Little League baseball team.
At one point during a game, Joe called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside
And asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
"Yes, coach", replied the little boy.
"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue,
curse the umpire, or call him an asshole. Do you understand all that?"
Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.
The coach continued, "And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play,
it's not a dumb-ass decision and it doesn't mean that the coach should be called a shithead?"
"No, coach."
"Good", said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.”

You have to take into account of all of the relatives.

Most of the "abuse", for lack of a better term, come not from the participants of the activity, but the spectators of said activity!!

Exactly correct. The parents and grandparents of the players are often the worst offenders. 😀
