Tough. I would rather punish a handful - because it really would be only a handful - of kids in order to make it better for everybody else. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 11:14 10
- "it really would only be a handful". No, I think this supposition is flawed. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 11:20 9
  - Most parents aren't going to risk getting their kid kicked out. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 11:22 8
    - Most parents also aren't going to risk being banned from watching their kids play -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 11:26 1
      - Dude. One less thing on the to do list. - con_carne Apr 2, 11:31
    - No, but unfortunately, an asshole's an asshole. The son of an asshole is just a kid. Taking the sport away from the kid would send him down Asshole Rd -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 11:24 5
      - See, this is flawed thinking. A lot of people will be jerks if there is no consequences from being a jerk. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 11:26 4

        Yes and no. The stakes are a helluva lot different with this arena (pun intended) compared to knocking over liquor stores. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 11:29 1

        Most parents that are jerks can not control it. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 11:27
