When we go to one of my sons games. They weren’t all snarling knuckledraggers but many were. At some schools most were. It was such an offensive display of poor sportsmanship. I don’t think this behavior just came out after trump was in office but I have no doubt it was amplified. But yeah, they got real quiet when their team lost. Surprisingly, I’d ask my son after some really obnoxious parents and fans how the other team was and he’d usually say they were fine. I just can not imagine that kind of behavior when I was in school.
