They did not care about setting an example.

Two mothers got themselves banned from their sons’ future games after throwing hands at a Catholic Youth Organization basketball game last month.

Parents haven’t been as well-behaved at kids’ games as you’d expect them to be in recent times.

A video recently went viral showing a father blowing up a coach with a crazy tackle at a boys’ basketball game.

As for the moms in question, they squared up during a sixth-grade game between St. Teresa and Saint Clare on Staten Island on December 20th, according to SILive.

Security footage, seen below, shows them engaging each other verbally before things quickly get violent. They’re shown shoving each other and throwing punches, taking their melee to the court.

The fight continues despite others jumping in to try to calm them down. Another fight breaks out as soon as they are pulled off each other.

CYO County Director Michael Neely said the women were parents whose kids were playing in the game. The others involved were also family members.

Neely added that the women and the family members have been banned from attending Catholic Youth Basketball games indefinitely.

“Two families got involved and, in the end, their families have been banned from CYO indefinitely,” he said.

“The CYO is no longer gonna tolerate fights that just ruin it and crush it for kids,” Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella said. “There were kids on the court crying because they didn’t know what was happening, the game had to come to an end and these kids suffer.”

“The mission was about the kids. The mission was about teaching them responsibility. The mission was about them having a good time: the kids.

“The kids are the center of this universe here. And every once in a while some spectators get out of control and ruin it for the kids and ruin it for everybody else.”

Fonsella also said that there is a new rule in place that will ban spectators for a year for any disruptive behavior.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
