While it’s no secret that parents of children who play sports may be the worst people in the history of this world or any other, those involved with youth hockey have been making a considerable push as of late to secure the title of Absolute Supreme Biggest A-Holes Parents Ever. First, there was that hockey coach who was recently jailed for tripping a 13-year old during the postgame handshakes, and then there was the dad who heckled a kid and threatened other parents in the stands, all while holding his youngest child.

Now, via Fark, comes a video of even more hockey parents starting fights at a game, this time during something called the Bantam C OMHA finals between Six Nations and Tweed on Saturday. My apologies if that’s incorrect, but none of what you’re about to read makes any sense to me.

Miami Dolphins cheerleader Lilly Robbins is always relevant.

This past Saturday, the first annual Louisiana High School Athletic Association Cheer and Dance Competition was held in Lake Charles, LA and I can only assume that the spirit fingers were in full effect. The first event drew an impressive 1,302 competitors, but almost a week later, it’s not the cheerleaders that we’re talking about. Nope, it was just one insanely intense cheer mom that stole the entire show and became an instant star.

The unnamed mom, who was at the competition cheering on her daughter from Archbishop Hannan High School, has done little to squash the stereotype that parents of young, competitive girls are insane, but I’m pretty glad that we have women like this in our lives. In fact, I think YouTube user “capita01” sums up my feelings best with this comment:
