Soccer moms gone wild...

The sports world is more than familiar with soccer hooligans and out-of-control parents.

Combine those two and you have this soccer mom, who attacked a 13-year old girl and a ref the other day.
"A female parent from the visiting team came running onto the pitch and attacked a 13-year-old. She pushed the 13-year-old onto the ground, so the girl was lying on her back," Tor Eriksen of the Bardufoss regional sports association (BOIF) told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting).

The BOIF girls were called a range of nasty names, and were also told to "get their ugly asses off the field", NRK reports.
That's mean stuff.
"The referee was completely "shaky", and the players were crying," Eriksen said.
Not as bad as this soccer mom, but still reprehensible stuff.

Soccer craziness, it seems, sees no boundaries.
