Parents: do your kids get in the way of your enjoyment of sporting events. Here are two sure-fire ways to enjoy your sports after you become parents… oh, yea, and you’ll probably wind up in jail too. No biggie.

Bring ‘Em With

Earlier this month, a man was caught dragging his 10-year old son through the running of the bull in Spain. How’d he get caught? The newspaper my friends… the damn paper:

The youngster’s mother complained to police after seeing a newspaper photograph of her ex-husband leading their son by the arm just a few feet in front of the bulls, El Mundo reported on Tuesday.

Dad didn’t go to jail in this case… but he did lose visitation rights so this 10 year old’s last memories of Dad will always include a fresh warm load in his underpants.

Leave ‘Em At Home

I really can’t explain the actions by these two Packers fans… its just mind-boggling… especially when you consider the fact that one of the parents was a former youth counselor. Maybe now we know why its “former youth counselor” and not current.

A couple who admitted locking a 7-year-old boy in his room with a bucket for a toilet while they watched Packers games at a casino received jail sentences Monday. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner called the couple’s actions “abhorrent” and ordered them to undergo psychological screening.

First off, psych testing is probably a wise move here. Second, if you have a son, why wouldn’t you want to share the enjoyment of the Packers with him? Now this kid is going to grow up with an unnatural hatred of Brett Favre. Nice going mom and dad.
