Bob CollinsThe athletic director in Kingsport, Tenn., wins the competition for understatement this week with this observation after a brawl broke out between parents watching their girls play softball.
“It’s a shame this had to happen,” Todd McLemore tells the Kingsport Times News.

USA Softball kicked both teams out of the tournament as well as future tournaments.
The players are in a 12-and-under softball league.
Not surprisingly, the comments section of the newspaper’s story on the brawl became a fight over President Trump.
