parents are getting too emotionally involved in this stuff their kids are involved with. I'd be nervous if my kids were involved w/ someone like this around (the interfering father)...this is why they have referees on these matches to closely watch, make sure no one gets hurt seriously. Minor injuries (especially in wrestling) do happen, one may inadvertently put their arm behind their back while getting slammed to the mat, possibly hurting one's arm, etc. Stuff does happen, but it's not deliberate or intentionally, it's just in the spur of the excitement of the match.
