You would hope a 60 year old man would have better sense than to be an active participant in a brawl at a children’s shooting event.
Oh well, stupidity has a price.
And you wonder why these kids are acting out of control these days.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Really pathetic behavior by parents.
To be honest, I saw the headline on Yahoo but it didn’t have any photos or video. I automatically said to myself, this will be a bunch of black folks. To my surprise, there wasn’t a black person on the court. I need to change the way I think and I was ashamed of my knee jerk reaction.
In Vermont😂 White supremacist media programming, friend.
My first thought was it must be negus and I was right.
How long have you been on this Meth binge, ma’am?
sad
Nothin but uneducated rednecks up in Alburgh..
Who won the game?
Animals acting like animals. Good to know.
Now I know why we have 22-year-olds playing middle school basketball.
Typical parents these days.
My brother-in-law has been doing High School football as a referee for 35 years he’s got some stories to tell you. The fans the parents the players have gotten more wild and more aggressive throughout the years.
Watch the young man with #1 on his shirt…
@Humphrey Kendall that kid is getting tossed out of the school, at the very least
That’s one way to thin the herd
All the wrong people are having kids lol
The State Attorney missing a thumbnail is crazy
I thought I was bad
If you ever hit it with a hammer that happens. First turns black, then falls off.
Start charging and arresting parents for being such TERRIBLE parents! You have to go through so much paperwork and background checks to adopt a cat! Any LOSER can have a kid.
Every adult there should be ashamed. Completely pathetic human beings. Over a stupid unimportant middle school game. The school should disband all sports programs in the area. It’s a game, with kids
Very supportive parents
No more Trump rallies for him!
I hope those involved reflect on their behavior and begin setting a better example for their children… shameful.
Pathetic.
Every adult out on that floor needs to identified, doxxed and charged.
Freedom lovers…
Wow, is this America nowadays!
WOW, 1st white basketball fight.
I didn’t see that coming LOL.
Someone get the Darwin award
Fight that started over a referee call at a middle school basketball game… I didn’t know they had such magnificent trash in Vermont.
luckily nobody carried the guns…otherwise, another mass shooting.
And we wonder why people don’t want to ref, coach or attend games? I did my time with it and I have seen things at games escalate to the point of being dangerous.
Absolute ZERO class of the entire gymnasium. Nobody there showed any adulthood.
They should stop all sports at that school
Lmfao basketball in Vermont?? That’s like knitting sweaters in Compton!!! 😂😂
It’s just a game. Even at the national level it’s still just a game. Friendly compilation to better each other and to share our similarities. Cheating and violence is never acceptable for both players and fans. How do you have a whole gym full of people who obviously love the game hurting each other? What happened to taking a loss with dignity
Animals
Savages
All because of a middle school basketball game!!
Can we all agree that the real crime is filming this in portrait mode instead of landscape mode?
you got my vote
Why is it so necessary to lambast refs?
wth
White on white crime😂 🤦🏼♀️
What about it? Go to Chicago and look at your black on black crime 😂
White on white crime. Damned animals
White
They follow the example of bad behavior on entertainment and social media . People are easy to program .
FN animals
Arrest every participant and ban them all.
Yep, that’s what these thugs always do!! Don’t call them parents, call them what they are, hudloms & thugs!!
This doesn’t really have anything to do with the video but I’m 57 years old and have noticed way over the top aggressive drivers the last 7 years or so !
Amazing, a piece of news where MSNBC did’nt make it about race…
Grandpa got knocked out acting like a child away from parents at a high school game,it’s just sad but that’s how the cookie crumbles
Americans ☕
Where is FOX news at??? Crickets……
It’s just a game
The 60 year old should have warmed up first, but with the winter blast, it’s understandable. LOL!!!
The racist comments that would’ve found themselves on this video, If this was a black parent fight…
bet they live in a nice neighborhood
So because adult males felt the need to become physical, a student is going home without his father tonight!! Was it worth it??!!how many kids did he have?life insurance? Who’s going to help with the bills, rent mortgage food etc
Thugs! Savages! Animals! Look at the race of those violent creatures in Vermont behaving like wild monkies over a basketball game, the usual suspects!! Their dangerous behavior is in their culture.
Well that’s the FAFO I guess
This why the kids so bad, parents are trash
F humanity. Nuke the world. We are selfish, stupid, and Ignorant…..we will keep getting worse until our people are so selfish and stupid that our society collapses. And it won’t be China or Russia’s fault, it’ll be on those idiots who had children before they had the funds and intelligence to raise them. Our education system is purposefully failing our children because idiots are easier for the gov’t to control.
Well look at what the courts decided about college athletes are able to make money during college years & they were not able to before so now just think of the pressure from parents for their to do well in sports & win due to their children can make bank in college 🤦🏻♀️
This is exactly what my sports brand WORLD SPORT BE FAN FRIENDLY ENJOY THE GAMES mission addresses, the vicious violent fan on fan attacks at sporting events, at playgrounds, schools at all levels, and at professional sports games. Sports games are for entertainment, and not violent behavior. WORLD SPORTS BE FAN FRIENDLY encourage and promote positive fan behavior in an effort to combat the violent attacks that has caused many to suffer severe injuries, some that has been fatal. Over the years I have contacted major sports organizations such as the NFL, NBA, MBA, FIFA, and sports apparel companies like Nike, Adidas and others to partner with WORLD SPORTS BE FAN FRIENDLY to stop this violence at sports games, every game, everywhere. The sports industry for years has been plagued with fan violence that has caused many to suffer serious injuries, and it’s time to support brands such as WORLD SPORTS BE FAN FRIENDLY to bring some consciousness to this violent matter. Yes this is a pitch in its own right, I have struggle to create banners that can be displayed at parks, schools, and event stadiums. Through efforts to the Recreation Department in New Orleans, I have manage to have some banners at parks, I communicate with booster club members and parents to educate them about positive fan behavior to avoid violence at games.This banner can be displayed digitally at college and professional sports games events,. There’s also an animation, brochures, and a jingle. Sports news organizations such as ESPN has been contacted personally and given T-Shirts per a major event once. Alburgh Vermont, prayers are with you and the family of the grandfather that has been mention. Peace
fools
Great plan: You live your whole life, likely in or nearing retirement…And you get killed over a f***ing elementary school basketball game. Everybody involved is beyond pathetic…
Here is the solution – Give the children the paddle for their misbehaving parents in this brawl. Parents should give the paddle to their children for this misbehavior. I know this is a new approach but these parents are getting out of hand nationwide. Remember that these children will be parents soon.
SOMEBODY PLEASE SEND THIS MAN TO A PHILADELPHIA EAGLES GAME
Life in prison please. Thanks.
I guess ball really is life.
Maybe we should start banning all parents from youth sporting events, or maybe lock them in cages like they used do for football hooligans.
That little punk #1 better be suspended and kicked off the team as well! Unacceptable from everyone!
idiots with anger issues should not be allowed to have children.
This is what the media is doing to us. I used to start my day by readimg the news. Then i realized the weird animosity I felt towards otger humans had a lot to do with what I thought everyone else is out there doing. Shootings and stabbings and crowds of angry people all over the world. Each of these instances are replayed and cited hundreds of times a day by very powerful companies that have a motive that is far deeper than informing the public. People hate eachother these days and its not low-key anymore. What else can we blame it on? How else do we solve all of this? Do we give up and attribute the violence to a growing world population? The news is ridiculous now and is obviously a culprit.
Imagine the amount of alcohol people sneak into games like this. Look at all the pot bellies- lots of angry drunk conservatives.
Bernie Sanders country ain’t conservative.
@Sara Amato Conservatives are everywhere; even deep blue liberal places.
Bunch of thugs..I’m not surprised
Society is in decline when Vermont has gone “hood”.
Trailer park*
It’s a plague of the vaxxed RUN!!!!!!!!!!
White on white crime …SMH
The kid wearing #1 was in the middle of it throwing blows
Adrenaline plus Clot Shot?
The Natives are getting restless in the suburbs…
Really?? This is what our World is~ we are killing people over childrens sports?!?! Ridiculous.
Remember folks, sports teach “good sportsmanship”….NOT!
cave dwellers
So ghetto
I’m white trash and I’m in trouble.
Must be parents born in like 1980 or something. Of course they are childlike !
Hillbillies chimpin out. Only thing missing….beside many of their teeth…are the dueling banjos.
Look at the f ing thugs.
As 2nd Amendment Texans are prone to ask, “How might the outcome been different if everyone was carrying?”
Look at these albino monkeys acting like thugs in front of their children. Such low IQ behavior
Amish at it again
Looks like a Richard Simmons diet book signing gone wild.
Do better white people.
The whites are f ing up 😆
this is murder
Who will be charged in this murder fr
Where’s the police?
This happened at one of my son’s wrestling events. Wrestling moms are vicious!
