"Little League Umpire Abuse: NJ Town's Ultimatum Shuts Down Unruly Parents"
TL;DR Summary
A Little League in Gloucester County, New Jersey, has implemented a new rule to deter unruly fan behavior towards umpires. If a spectator violates the code of conduct, they will have to umpire three games under the supervision of an official ump before being allowed to return as a fan. If the person doesn’t comply, they will be banned from all youth sporting events in town for a year. The initiative has been applauded by Little League International and has already resulted in three volunteers stepping up to umpire.
