Granted, one of the girls told the ref to "F off" and got an immediate red, but the parents weren't anywhere near as bad as I had expected.

As much as I make fun of the other parents (and I've been around for a long time now), every once in a while I catch myself saying one of these silly things. You get caught. I remember one time when I said something stupid, a parent on the other team said "really?" and I immediately started laughing because what I said was so stupid. I promise it will happen to you.

I can see that happening. I just really don't like when parents disparage kids on their team or the opposing team. These are KIDS for goodness sake! Give them a break, they are trying. To bash them is unethical and immature.

Last time one of my kids played a team from down there a father literally screamed out to his daughter to "break her f**cking leg" when she didn't get a call he felt his daughter should have gotten. Lots more of those stories where that came from.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI have to agree with you. I also have 10 plus years and they NY/NJ parents can be really nasty. Upper state NY is fine.
Guess what, that kid had an injury that sidelined him for the fall. Hopefully karma prevails.

Well, judging from some of these observations, I really hope that the apple falls very far from the tree! To instigate and condone hurting of kids is disgusting. Imagine what their homes are like? This is just youth soccer, not the pros!

After many decades of participation with several children, and still heavily involved , there aren't any particular geographic area parents that are worse than others. There are good and bad all over. Sorry to disappoint some of you .

My wife and I love freaking people out when they start yammering in different languages. She and I both speak a few but look like your average white suburban soccer parents. Amazing what parents will say to kids and officials just because they think no one understands them.
