With that being said, we haven't had any personal issues with either one of their teams which are both HIGH QUALITY and TALENTED teams and coaching! I think people ge offended by the Rebels because they let it bother them. I haven't seen it be negative ever so I think it is just a tool they use to motivate their team....And it works!!
I think that both teams made some terrible decisions yesterday and it got WAAAY out of hand. I have heard all the rumors about the Rebels on this board but haven't seen it for myself so I would rather not make a comment on it. I do know that when we've played them they have been respectful. That goes for the Angels too!
I just think that both sides let that situation evolve and both are at fault......The sad part is that the girls had to see it!
That's just it though, other than the yelling of her name a few times in one inning, there was nothing else going on. He wasn't ranting and raving during the game, just sitting in his chair, quiet. When he did start yelling sucks after the game in response to the Rebels parent(s)chanting Aimie, it escalated in just seconds it seemed when the boyfriend walked over and boom, it was this huge deal, Angels parents holding him back, etc. Then it was over, parents packing up their stuff and walking out. There was no warning of what happened next, no way for anyone on the team to know or even think about it. This parent has never shown anything other than a rather laid back personality, like I said before it was surreal. Kind of hard to control a parent who does something completely out of character, taking everyone off guard and by surprise.
As far as the issue of talking coaches, complaints on the field - that wasn't a big deal, at least it didn't get people in our dugout or stands fired up, nobody even cared about it. All we heard was Aimie telling the umpire to have our coach stop talking to her or she would pull her team.
WOW, you say you didn't hear it...hmmmm but a few posts ago you said that KENNY WAS NOT TALKING TO THE DUGOUT and that ws a lie. If you couldn't hear anything, than how do you know this?
Anyone reading this can see the contradictions...like I said, you should just stay out of it.
There is no contradiction here, I said that your complaining to the umpire didn't get our dugout or fans upset, it was no big deal. And I didn't hear or see Kenny saying anything to your dugout or to your pitcher, all I heard was you call time and complain/threaten to take your team. My point here was that the Corona Angels parents were NOT all fired up in the stands because of anything going on between you and Kenny on the field. Just the one parent who started yelling your name, which as I've said before was un-called for and rude.
So, am I to see now that just because I am pointing out that this wasn't a Corona Angels uproar against the Rebels, that is was bad behavior on the part of both parents, that now it's all turning against me? This is kind of ridiculous. Just because someone is sorry about something bad that happened, doesn't mean they accept blame. Just because people apologize for things doesn't mean that other people didn't also do things they should apologize for.
I am a very honest person, when I say something I shouldn't or make a mistake, I always admit it or apologize for it. I'm not going to sit back and just let people bash our team and parents when in fact there was no tension with the other Angels parents, and none that I detected from the coaches that led to what happened. It was only one Angels parent involved in the fight, one Angels parent who for whatever reasons, regardless of what was or wasn't being said, did what he did running over to the Rebels and I don't know what happened over there, I was dealing with crying kids.
So, I don't mean to offend you or anyone on the Rebels, it is obvious that no one on your team thinks they did anything wrong at all, so that's that I guess. I was in the stands when the Rebels parent came over yelling back and forth with the parent on our team; you know he too could have kept his mouth shut, he too could have just ignored the Angels parent, he too could have just left the field.
