Teach your parents well
My teenager daughter plays basketball. Just local, regional stuff, not professional. Last weekend I went with my wife to one of her matches. Her team (our team) played to reach the final. Same thing for the other team. The match was going matched and families and friends became more and more nervous, more and more angry if the referee didn't decide the way they wanted.
I felt ashamed. In my own team, some fathers and mothers insulting the referee, shouting when the girls of the other team were trying to throw the ball from the free throw line. I had already seen these behaviour in football matches, but these is my first time suffering these manners in a tennager female match.
We try to teach our children well, we try to talk to them about sport, healtness, friendship, effort and self-improvement. And usually they find our speeches absolutelly unnecessary. They know it, they feel it. In the sports center, sometimes they look at us as if we were crazy. Maybe we need to change the target of our speeches. Maybe we need to be be raised again. Maybe we need they teach us.

Teach Your Parents Well
My teenager daughter plays basketball--just local, regional stuff, not professional. Last weekend, I went with my wife to one of her matches. Her team (our team) was playing to reach the finals, same thing for as the other team. The match was going evenly matched* and families and friends became more and more nervous, more and more angry if the referee didn't decide the way they wanted.I felt ashamed. In my own team, some fathers and mothers {better: several parents} were insulting the referee, shouting when the girls of the other team were trying to throw shoot the ball from the free throw line. I had already seen these behaviours in football matches, but this is my first time suffering these manners in a teenager female girls' match.

*Or: The match was going "toe to toe."
