Here in Illinois I have had to end quite a few games because of out of control players and fans. We have an international league that has some really good teams in it, but there are a few teams that have caused such a problem this year, that there is no tolerance left. The games are ended, and fines are given out to the teams that are the cause. In high school, I only had one parent threaten me this year, so we had the AD take care of the problem. I feel bad for the 18 year olds that have to take this abuse. At least when you get into your 30's you can just tune it out. I think officials need to grow a pair more often and toss parents/spectators out if they are crossing the lines of sportsmanship or lack there-of.
