Indeed, Mike. Not only the parent who assaults the opposing coach, but parents of the opposing players. But I think she is deliberately playing into that macho stereotype. As well as reinforcing the image of her own metaphorical balls; reminding us that, despite her feminine sex appeal, she's in touch with her inner macho.
