Take a Chill Pill

Some of the craziest fans out there are parents. Today I had sections for the Y swim team. We were the last team to get their and their was parents everywhere. You had grandparents, aunts and uncles, other siblings running around. It was crazy. I was sitting on the pool deck and I see a women literally running up and down the deck screaming at the relay. Her face looked like a tomato and her veins in her head were bulging. I thought she was going to fall in the pool. The video cameras. You couldn't even walk around the deck without getting in the way. The dad I saw had to at least have the video camera running for half the meet.(Y swim meets are not short) I'm thinking to myself, these parents are crazy;it's only a Y swim meet. Don't have a heart attack over one. Then you see Albert Lea parents sitting on their butts, calm and collected. But the parents on the other teams are wild animals trapped in a small room.
