NBC on Yahoo SportsJennifer Garner says Ben Affleck is one of those obnoxious sports parents
Actress reveals her husband takes daughters' basketball games way too seriously
We all know one. That dad in the little league stands who takes the game way too seriously. He's at every pint-size sports venue in the country. That dad with his nose pressed against the mesh fence, yelling about outfield alignment and plate discipline while the youngsters struggle to put the ball in play. Or the one at the basketball court screaming that his child is open as the scoreboard ticks down in the fourth quarter with a score of 8-6.
Jennifer Garner, star of the upcoming film Draft Day, knows one of these dads, too. It's her husband, Ben Affleck.
The actress joined The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday and revealed that when Affleck isn't making movies, he can be found playing the role of "Obnoxious Dad No. 1" on the sidelines of their daughters' basketball games.
"Nobody cares, Ben," said Garner, who is typically the one in the stands urging her husband to keep quiet. "Please, please stop."
With all the criminal activity out there, you'd think Batman would have bigger fish to fry than trolling the coaches at a girls' youth hoops game.
