Quote of the Day (Joe Queenan, on Parents Who 'Behave Like Bozos' at Their Kids’ Games)

“As the years have passed, I find myself fondly recalling the experience of watching other parents behave like bozos. I miss hearing the refs accused of gross miscarriages of justice, of being on the underworld payroll, of lacking even a scintilla of basic human decency. I miss getting to stand on the sidelines watching other parents drench the ground with tears just because the ump called leaden-footed Bree out at the plate. Which she forgot to tag anyway.”—American satirist and critic Joe Queenan, “Moving Targets: A Tribute to the Inane Dramas of Sideline Parents,” The Wall Street Journal, June 8-9, 2024
