Little League Ump Confronts Parents, Then Walks Out After They Make Fun Of Him

What a bunch of classless assholes. That ump did the right thing

"what a jerk" - says the lady drinking froze' at a little league game while heckling the umpire.

If we mouth off during our kid’s baseball game, the coach will call us out sit our kid for the duration of the game. It is very effective.

I back Blue on this one. You cannot act like adults then he needs to walk. No need to take abuse from the stands.

Adults are the worst thing about kid sports.

Love that they were telling him to stay professional for the kids. Maybe if they hadn’t acted like asshats, he would have stayed. It’s not game 7 of the World Series parents. Being California, they probably weren’t even keeping score.

Why can we never find umps?

And we wonder why kids turn out to be spoiled little bastards.

good for him

I love the douchebag parents calling him "terrible" and a "jerk".

I don’t think I would take too much lip from a bunch of lennar-dwelling, overextended, in-hock suburbanite try-hards either.

And they all think they know baseball YET.. they never put the blues on and call a game.

And fat mom followed him out to get one last word in. I coached. Some parents are pure trash at sporting events.

I've been in that guy's shoes before and it sucks. Little League parents are the worst. What kept me around were the kids themselves who would tell you straight up "ump, ignore my mom, she's a bitch...or my dad takes this entirely too seriously". After that, it is easy to block out the parents and just plow through the game. I had one dad follow me to my car one time cursing me up and down, left and right. Just brutal. Then, his son and his coach come up to us and let the dad know I had made the right call. LOL. The look on his blowed up face was priceless. I just thanked the kids and coaches for acting like mature adults and left piglet standing there red-faced.

Little League parents are the worst. I couldn't sit in the stands when my kids were that age, it's unbearable.

People complain about today's kids. Kids haven't changed, parents have.

That woman’s comment was uncalled for. Total trash.

Why put up with that for $12/hour? Don’t blame him

The fact that there were multiple 30 + yearold adults with kids videoing the harrassment of an umpire at a LL game. Newport is a affluent area you can't buy class.

I umpired all levels for 25 years. It’s truly a thankless job for little pay. I just liked continuing to go to park after done playing. This guy was not destined to do the job. If he didn’t have support of the league commissioner is the only viable reason to walk. His job is to take control of the game and have those idiots thrown out. Sad
