Brian Barlow is a renegade. As a soccer parent and soccer referee, he had seen the gradual degradation of conduct and sportsmanship in youth and high school sports, and as a marketer, he has used his skills to "out" some of the worst offenders. He tells the story of how a simple idea to solicit videos of "stupid sports parents" went viral, how he appeared on the front page of the New York Times sports section, and what he's doing now to keep the momentum going.

Chris is a personal injury attorney in Boston. By any "normal" standard, he should've ended up with an average to below-average life. None of us choose the family and environment in which we were born, but far too many believe that their lives are somehow limited due to the circumstances of their early life.
