In fairness to the streaming stations, if they were contracted to be live showing the game and they cut away there would have been screaming about that instead (and if the game had completely stopped as it probably should have to deal with this situation then there wouldn't have been much else to be looking at and everyone involved probably thought it would be over quicker than it actually was).
But jeez that would have been painful to watch x_x
I think a lot of the emotional outbursts and tantrums are some combination of people who have been repressed for too long blowing up (repression is often mistaken for control but it's not), and this interesting parenting technique where you never say "no" to your child so as to not foster negativity and also don't do anything that might "crush their spirit" (I'm not enlightened enough to understand these practises and I'm also under the impression it was supposed to be mostly an idea about reframing that got demented) that seemed to be a thing when my kids were younger. I'm currently waiting for things to even out and hope it doesn't take forever x_x
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh that photo XD
There is no win for them. I still think they can show some parts of it, but they don't need to keep cutting back to it. Rather, show the crowd reactions, as it tells more of a story.
Definitely for those close in the stands.
"modern parenting" where they want to be friends with the kids only is a big issue, but I think it is part of the desire of parents too, scared of conflict, because it is uncomfortable. Rather than work things out, pretend everything is fine.
