I am most definitely not in favor of punishing a kid for the actions of their parents.

Reminds me of when teachers would punish the entire class because of one rock head. It’s a dumb way to deal with the problem.

I have no problem with parent shaming.

I have no problem with “parent shaming either” but I would suggest a bench minor for unruly parent behavior. That will get the coach more involved and likely the association barring some of these idiots. I actually asked the ref to toss a parent this year because I was sick of listening to them.
