If you have ever been to any kind of high school sporting event, we all know that parents make up a solid portion of the fans. There is usually a wide range from the quiet family who seems to never talk, to the parents who scream bloody murder whenever their child does remotely anything. While we may not have noticed them as much in high school, coming back and watching a game makes the presence of parents' personalities even clearer. Basically, it really makes us see that some parents are really just nuts.
The "My child could never do anything wrong" parent.
These are the moms or dads who freak out whenever the referees calls a foul on their kid. Even if they slapped another player across the face, the other guy started it.
The parent who thinks the referees are against the whole team.
These parents are almost worse than the previous parents. These guys will yell and scream whenever a foul is called on their child's team. Not to mention, whenever they call a foul on the other team they shout something like, "Finally, you opened your damn eyes!"
The snack parents.
Honestly, these guys are the best. Not only do they bring food for the team, they bring a feast for everyone. Throw out those little bags of chips you get from the vending machine because these parents brought a Thanksgiving meal for the whole team.
The oblivious parent who is just out of their mind.
These parents have no idea what is going on, at all. But they still find it completely necessary to scream their heads off the entire game. They simply yell to the point of losing their voice. Toward the end of the game, you have no idea what they're even saying because their voice has become a raspy mess, not that it matters considering they were just spewing nonsense.
The peppy parents.
These guys always show up dressed head to toe in team apparel, and if there is ever a lull in the game, they don't hesitate to start some cheers. But we never hated it, because they always made us laugh from the bench.
The way too into it parents.
Not to be confused with the oblivious parents, they usually know exactly what's going on. Whether they are just showing off how much they know and love the sport or trying to live vicariously through their kid (usually the case), these guys might be the worst. They're a combination of a simple screamer, a know it all, and a "my child is the best thing to ever grace the planet of earth." Steer clear of these guys.
In short, parents can be straight up crazy. But they are incredibly entertaining (most of the time).
