Parents, fans brawl during youth softball tournament

Video shows a brawl that broke out between parents and fans of two North Carolina girls softball teams at a Tennessee park.

The Kingsport Times-News reports the fight happened Saturday in Kingsport during a 12-and-under tournament sponsored by USA Softball.

Todd McLemore with Kingsport's Parks and Recreation Department says a verbal confrontation between two sets of spectators escalated into a chaotic brawl after someone got pushed.

A video shows more than a half-dozen fans tackling each other to the ground amid a flurry of punches and kicks.

one of my many right wing relatives talks to me about the inherent violence of not-white people.

As soon as I saw the headline, I knew they were obnoxious white folks.

And had they been not-white, they'd all be in jail.

At one of my son's hockey games an opposing team father clocked a ref after a game that his son's team lost badly. The police were called and he had charges pressed against him. I hope that happened here. There is no time or place for this sort of nonsense. Ever.
