Cops: Bolingbrook Flag Football

Yep, that's right - Cops make an appearance at Jack's football game today.  Ughhh.  "Grown Ups" - the name is HIGHLY subjective!  Just makes me sick.  Here's the scoop.  We're undefeated.  In fact today is the only day any team has even scored on us. 

At the end of the game the other coach thought he still had time to call time out - he did - I don't think the ref saw it - who knows.  In the big scheme it really doesn't matter because we ahead more than one touchdown.  But this guy is screaming about it and the ref's go off the field - our coach is trying to talk the guy off the ledge - because after all this is a LIFE or DEATH matter right????!!! 

One of the board members comes over (a woman no less) and he screams at her and says something that makes her throw up her hands - give him that "oh no you didn't " pointy finger and she heads off the field to her golf-cart and drives off.  A few minutes later she returns with more board members and at that time practically the all of the bleachers descend to the field and start yelling at this one guy who is the board pres.  All while our kids are watching, their kids are watching AND the next two teams have started to take the field already!!!! 

I grabbed my kids and left just as I saw a policeman grab the other team's coach as he was running the board pres off the field.  God only knows what happened then.  It's very sad when your 10 year old son has more common sense than the other adults around you. 

Adults really ruin sports for children.  I'm so ashamed of us as a whole.
