Paul Erasmus: This behaviour teaches children the completely wrong thing and is unacceptable. There are better ways to handle disagreements.

Roedolph Zeelie: Parents should take a step back and let the kids enjoy the game. It’s their time to play, not ours to interfere.

Michelle Pretorius: It’s a very bad example. These children will end up in serious trouble later in life if they learn to solve problems with aggression.

Malebo Chuene: They’re not teaching their children how to work with others. Maybe parents shouldn’t even be allowed to watch the games if this is how they behave.

Mariano Booysen: Parents set a very bad example doing this. Children will follow the actions of their parents, whether they are right or wrong.
