I agree. My wife and I went to see the Yankees play Boston in NY and it was embarrassing the way the crowd behaved. Going to a sports event is not supposed to be an occasion for public drunkeness. I suggest they stop selling alcohol completely at the games and try to make them what they used to be: a family event. Of course they'd have to lower those ticket prices (driven by the ridiculously high salaries these athletes are receiving). I've noticed quite a few half empty stadiums during regular season NFL games this year. Maybe they'll get the message.

Cheating Eight Year Old
Anything that gives one player an unfair advantage over another is cheating. Period. Why are people so willing to bend the rules when they have been so obviously broken? Although the father said he was just helping her keep score, that was a bunch of baloney. A 5 year old could keep score in tennis. More than likely he was telling her where to hit the ball which is cheating. Its too bad the child was penalized, but it was a good and necessary lesson learned: don't cheat and if you do and you get caught, you will get penalized. In Pro Tennis, the coaches in the stands are not even supposed to make any kinds of signals to their player or the player could be penalized.
