I agree with BoR, chapindad, and gitg. Parents should limit their comments to cheering on their teams in a positive manner. Complaining to the ref as a parent could have a negative impact on your team, I have seen it happen. I believe this parent problem could also be quelled if ref's (including young ones) would not take such abuse from parents. It is definitely a ref's perogative to ask a parent to leave a game for such offenses. I believ if it happened more often it would stop some loud mouth parents. I also agree that parents should attend a ref course to better understand the game that most have never played. The only problem is that we have the wrong audience on this site most of the comments I have seen are completly harmless compared to some of the rants I have heard on the field.
