These Little League parents just scarred their kids for life

Children's sports games can get quite heated, with pressure from coaches meeting with eagerness to meet parents' expectations, leaving the young players on the field in a vulnerable position.

Thankfully, most coaches and parents approach sport with an encouraging attitude: they want their children to socialise and learn from the sport - they are not solely focussed on winning trophies. 

But it turns out even the most positive of parents don't always take losses on the chin, the way they advise their children to. 

At the end of a Little League championship baseball game in Plano, Texas, a parent can be heard saying, "second place ain't that bad". This poorly timed remark falls on the ears of one of the coaches from the losing team, and that's what sets chaos in motion.

The man approaches the parent and asks him to repeat his comment, clearly looking for a fight. 

In a matter of seconds, the confrontation between the two men gets physical and the situation escalates as more parents jump into the fray. Some try to break up the fight. 

Reports state that police in the area were called to the scene. No charges were pressed as people from both sides of the dispute were at fault.

The children's victory was temporarily overshadowed by the parents' inability to keep their tempers in check - this was certainly not the best way to guarantee that the children maintain a healthy lifelong interest in sports and sportsmanship.
