Boorish behavior is just that and I don't know anyone who advocates it. I certainly do not. I am 52 years and started playing organized sports when I was 9 in 1959. You will never convince me that the type of behavior you are describing is unique to this time period or wrestling itself. I saw plenty of it as a kid in the early 60s and all the way up to now. There were plenty of overzealous parents and coaches then too. It can be found in all youth sports today. We all need to watch overselves and do better in this area and I would bet most of us have been guilty of it at one time or another. No one is perfect. But thankfully I find what you are describing to be the exception not the rule.

I think that the majority of parents and coaches that I encounter in youth sports are loving and positive parents and coaches and as a rule do not engage in the activity you are describing. I am glad they are involved in coaching my children and letting their children compete against my children at wrestling and the other sports. They are all giving a lot of time to make this happen. I like the parents of the wrestlers that my son regularly competes against and he does too. He also likes his coaches. I have read a bigger problem today is those parents who do not spend time with their children and let them get out of shape by not participating in physical activities.
