I think I noted it above but this is our first go-around in select and the tournaments are crazy. Every family has a cart full of a ton of shit. A bunch of tarps and boomboxes with pre-game and walk-up music. The parents (98% of whom are morbidly obese and shit-faced by late afternoon as they sell booze which is crazy to me) are nuts -- yelling at the umps, their own players, other players, other parents, their coaches, other coaches. This was our fourth tournament and last weekend I saw my first near fight. A bunch of country rednecks v a bunch of hispanic folks. I don't know what happened (was on the field next to us and wasn't paying attention) but a bunch of the parents (dads and moms too!) got into a shouting shoving match, screaming f-bombs, gonna kick your fucking ass, etc. Rednecks got tossed and promised to be waiting in the parking lot for the other group after the game. I'm not sure if that happened. A bunch of 11 and 12 year olds just standing the whole thing.
