The conversation got very interesting when Darren, Keri and Sky addressed the issue during the show.
The team opened up the phone lines and asked parents what their take on the matter is.
Sport unifies people and is a major driving force when it comes to school culture.

That's what took place on Saturday 30th of April when Northwood School took on Kearsney College, a game between two big hitters in KZN.
A parent let his emotions get the best of him after what he believed to be some poor decisions by the match referee.
In the uncalled-for scenes below, the parent can be seen grabbing a Kearsney College player from behind, sparking a series of upsetting scenes.

Absolutely disgraceful. Any parent who incites violence at a schools game should be banned from ever attending a school’s game again. The parent in question is an embarrassment to himself, his kid & the school. https://t.co/8xvRX2Gogl

This is definitely not the ideal situation under any circumstances and we hope that it'll be a lesson for anyone looking to choose violence in any situation.
