This is a very good point. My dad was the standard crazy parent but now grandparent. Last fall my sister put my nephew in soccer(real footbal!)my dad doesn't know [censored] a about the beautiful game so all he'd do is cheer him on. But this year with the encouragement of my father she put him in American football. Needless to say he goes ape [censored] every [censored] game. My sister told my dad that the coaches told her that if my dad doesn't knock it off my nephew is off the team.
*note my nephew is 5 years old

I didn't know the had american football for 5 year olds. That seems like a bad idea to me. The youth leagues I've heard of start with 8 year olds.
