Parents in crazed brawl at youth softball tournament

if you go on youtube, there's tons of parent fight videos at softball, soccer..etc. games and they all seem to be in the south and involve overweight people haha.

To complain that Trump lies brings me to mind of Mark Twain's comment, where he wrote "He is a politician, and a liar, but I repeat myself".

Trump is a businessmen, and a politician, so of course he lies incessantly.

What is striking about Trump's lies is how angry he gets when people mention his untruths, and how much energy he is willing to invest in struggling to maintain his delusions. His deep emotional insecurity keeps getting triggered every time anyone notices how often and how crazily he lies. It's odd; it is like having an insecure & immature bully accidentally put in charge of a large organization, and it is like a South Park episode.

This is America

I doubt it.

Believe it soldier of trump. From where these people are from they are almost assuredly Trump supporters.

The article said the people fighting were from NC, not TN.

Meh, all those southern states are the same. Anything further South than Virginia is bumpusville. Land of right wing idolatry, ignorance and tooth decay (they go hand-in-hand).

Does LA count as the South?

While I'm about as anti-socialist as they come (although, unlike some, I do think the government has a role), I also think Trump is the most dangerous president we've ever had. He is completely without character, and completely without morals. He lies, cheats, and is willing to commit just about any crime to achieve his means. His means is always about him - not about the country. They are about him personally. He is as morally bankrupt as they come. To have him as our President fills me with shame.

Every single time I see or hear him speak is the worst part of my day. It reminds me how far we have sunk.

Quoted for truth

Wherever you stand politically I think we all can agree that white travel softball parents from North Carolina probably didn’t vote for McGovern, nor did they feel the Bern. My best guess having spent 100s of hours watching travel softball is that 90% of these people are Trump supporters. Other sports may have parent brawls with left wingers, but softball parents are decidedly red.

I agree with you. Now fvck off.

I read on USA Today that the fight started because a guy said that Pizzagate wasn't real and everyone else ganged up on him.

Y’all sure love to dehumanize people in the South. I hope you realize the things you’re writing are just as bad as what I would imagine is written on Stormer.

Everyone just needs to stop for one second and realize that you’re saying terrible things about another human being. Please.

This is a good post...and something with which I am struggling mightily. I'm a northerner through and through (Born and raised in the Minneapolis area). Individually, these are human beings with their own hopes, dreams, beliefs, etc. I get that part..as a matter of fact, you don't have to travel very far outside the Twin Cities area to find plenty of 'Trump' country. It's not just the south. But collectively, these people are another matter entirely...

Trump followers are willing to support a lying, sociopath of a dictator-wanna be regardless of any lie he tells. They want dearly for this entire country to be governed by a belief in an iron-age god. Nearly everything they stand for is anathema to actual, real, humanity. (My opinion, of course). Do we need to find ways to address the concerns of average, every day humans who in many cases have no clue about just how far the world has passed them by? Yes we do, unquestionably. And I don't know of a good answer off the top of my head; it sure wasn't Hillary (though a progressive supreme court would have been a nice result of her presidency at least).

Unfortunately, their support for Trump, the seeming willingness to not just accept but cheer for the most appalling, dangerous, inhumane POS ever to s(h)it in the White House, makes us enemies. Purely and simply. I know this is dangerous talk but there is no other way to put it. There is no compromise with Trump, or people who yearn for us to be an evangelical christian nation; he, and they, just need to be defeated.

Lol, you’re calling ME an idiot?!

I’m not the one who voted for Adolf Trump.

Yes, you are an idiot.

Trump is killing it. You voted for the beast or perhaps wrote in for the socialist nutter?

Classic case here. I've read many of your posts over time and you seem like 1-1 you'd be a solid guy with whom to have a conversation. I get (correct me if I'm wrong) from your posts that you are something of a religious man...

And you think one of the most vile, cruel, venal, un-Christian, lying, misogynistic, narcissistic, dictatorial sociopaths to ever inhabit the White House is 'killing it' because...what? The economy happens to be doing well now or something?

You diminish yourself.

Fixed it for you.

The plan for preventing these episodes resided in the concession stand - they were just hungry!

So, Trump is the most appalling, dangerous, inhumane US President ever? What do you think of the humanity of then Illinois State Senator Obama's numerous votes against the Illinois-version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act? Mr. Obama voted repeatedly to deny basic health care to severely disabled infants (presumably some would be survivors of botched abortions, but babies born with all manner of problems could be denied food, hydration, other routine care and allowed to die). Is that humane in your view? How does it compare to anything President Trump has done? I know President Obama was awarded his Nobel Peace Prize after those votes; perhaps you believe he should garner additional awards for such behavior (like compelling the Little Sisters of the Poor to provide "health" insurance that covers direct abortion; what disease does the deliberate slaughter of an innocent unborn human being cure or alleviate?). I cannot see how President Trump has done anything as nearly as terrible as what President Obama did.
