VIDEO: Little League Umpire Literally Walks off Field After Getting Heckled by Parents
By Chris Pyo

Little League baseball umpires might have one of the toughest jobs in all of sports. Not only are they paid in peanuts for their services, but they have to deal with all the entitled parents who heckle them to death. One umpire literally walked off the field after getting fed up with a couple of brutal insults from parents.
This is unfortunate for a variety of reasons.

One second, a dad says "stay professional for the kids and just do your job," which is difficult to do in itself after dealing with those parents. Not even ten seconds later, a mom can be heard going in for the kill, stating, "Are you mad 'cause the kids are taller than you?".
Props to this umpire for having the wherewithal to walk off the field as calmly as he possibly could, instead of jumping into the stands and going all Ron Artest on these parents.

How do these adults explain what happened in this instance to their kids? Let's just hope that these young ballplayers don't grow up to become as toxic as their parents. Sometimes, it's okay to disagree in silence.
