The gender thing is just the latest in a long tradition of overly-aggressive sports parents. Parents have been freaking out at hockey games and dance recitals for as long as I can remember.

It’s really just the same thing, but now with 50% more bigotry.

Like, maybe just calm down and let kids have fun?

This is not a hypercompetative parent, this is a fascist zombie. The differences are important.
