"It's all about education, if I go with my kids and they say one bad thing like this in a stadium they're grounded for a month. "We have to call it how it is, it's a disgrace. Obviously it can be a minority of fans but it's a disgrace. "There are kids who are six, seven, eight, nine years old and their parents are insulting me in the worst way.
