"It's Just a Game" is a documentary that focuses on the growing epidemic of violence in youth sports. The trend is growing, more and more parents are taking youth sports way too seriously. The affect that this has on the youth of America is detrimental. Angry and aggressive parents can send the wrong message to youth about how to be competitive. Sometimes it appears as if youth athletes are more mature during sporting events and competitions than the parents that raise them. There needs to be a change in the way that parents act at sporting events. The swearing and violence is not good for the kids. In a society where kids are taught how to be good people, with values and morals, how do we allow parents to act in such a out-of-control manner? Youth sports is all about developing talents, focusing on fundamentals, sportsmanship, having fun, and making friends. However, those attributes seem to be lost among the violence and aggression that comes about as a result of the actions of parents and coaches.
