So I guess for some of you "let's have some fun today" means it's time to trot out your favorite ignorant ethnic stereotypes and try to get a good laugh. 'Cause hey, it's OK to be a racist when you can be anonymous about it, right?

+1000 Fun post but hate that the racists need to screw it up.

Now lets look at the bigger picture. the real racist are the clubs. They out price the lower income families from competing for the same roster spots as the child from a more affluent family. The pay to play model is far worse in the bigger picture. the latin fun comment was laughed at earlier in the thread by a latino. My question is would anyone take offense if the comment would have been "The slow non athletic white kid who constantly kicks the ball with no direction and loses possession every time after 3 dribbles."? That's racist as well, But also funny because every club has more than their fair share of this stereo type. Lets just all have fun. Every post on here you can find offense with if you look at it from someone else point of view. Except the slow non athletic white kid . Those parents are totally blind about their own kid. and truly believe little Johnny is great. Just lighten up a bit enjoy the day warm weather is right around the corner.

You may have unearthed another stereotype. The parent who accuses the club of barring access to lower income families by charging unreasonable prices without ever having laid eyes on a typical club's budget. Most club's are not for profit and budgets are publicly available. Coaches deserve to be paid a decent wage, and fields and administration cost money. Many clubs have reduced fees for low income families.

Your post associates these supposedly disparaged lower income families as being "of race". You should be careful throwing around the "racist" term, your post resembles it.

I thought the PP unearthed a new stereotype as well. The one nobody ever acknowledges about their ds but talks about every other parents ds. The slow white kid who only plays because his family can shell out the big bucks for him to slow the entire game down due to lack of skill and athleticism.

All right, I was going to make a comment based on the way this thread was drifting involving leagues and clubs, but I backed off because I'm afraid it may start to drift off course.

This may be the best thread on here.

Lets keep it focused on what its original intention --- mocking and stereotyping soccer parents, of which I am one.

I have seen plenty of slow, fat, dumb Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Whites. I‘ve also seen plenty fast and athletic and rich (and poor) of the same mix of races. In fact, soccer is about the most representatively diverse sport around in the US. So not sure why the thread went down the racial stereotype path, but let’s keep it fun. This is (was?) a hilarious thread, so let’s not ruin it.

^ agrred. And, this was to mock parents, not children. I’m tired of reading parents making fun of kids. It’s sick.

Lets go back to the hot soccer mom that is desperate for some love making!! Maybe the dad is too busy at the office and doesn't have time to please her? I know I'll find time (if she lets me)

[Anonymous]

The soccer moms are typically the “slow, fat, dumb Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Whites.”

The coddled sibling. The kid in the mini-tent, shielded from any non-standard weather, and glued to something important on an iPad, because that video is more important than ever having to suffer boredom, having to participate in a conversation with a live human being or learn social skills, or having to find something creative to do while outside.

The parent who needs to be shushed. This dude is so clueless and obnoxious, the "field marshall" needs to offer him a lollipop to keep his mouth occupied. Sometimes invokes a much needed cross the field rebuke from the coach himself. You do man, coach.

Totally obvious comment-maker. This soccer dad will make needless, wholly obvious comments that no one else is dense enough to make. "Kick it down the field, Timmy!" That is kinda the objective of the game.

Wrong sport advice provider. Dad majored in hoops and has March madness already. "Clear the lane! Box her out and don't let her drive that lane!" I swear I heard this for real today.

Jeff cup all weekend....your last comment cracked me up. We played a team from PA and they looked like they were from a trucker town:

"Offsides, offsides........he was pass the line!" Me screaming back, what freaking line are you referring to? There isn't a real offside line, it's the last defender!
"Box him out", no bro its sheilding
This is the best...."interference", say what?

The Steeler jersey he was sporting said it all

Lastly, let's get off the stupid topic of racism or clubs keeping low income folks out. They are mostly all non-profit organizations and scholarships are offered. I drive a kid from a another neighborhood that is on scholarship and has no transportation so we added him to the carpool and I see the parents only on game day. Nice family, but they are immigrants that work a lot so they can't afford travel soccer so the other families help out with transportation, hotel (he normally stays with another family when he travels), and the club covers some of the cost. So don't use that BS about lower income families don't have the opportunity. They may not know, but it's there. Also he's a good kid, but just because he was latino didn't make him the best player on the team.

Where are these hot soccer moms? I might actually get my husband to the practice run more frequently if we were at Club with hot soccer moms. I haven't seen any, but maybe 1, and we've been with 3 different Clubs since 2010.

There are more I could share but some of the parents have such odd behavior I'm afraid they will recognize themselves! Trying to keep it fun here.

[Anonymous]

The parent that likes to make negative comments about the refs behind the line judge knowing they will hear. "These refs suck, they keep calling it wrong, what idiots, etc"

[Anonymous]

The only yelling for their kid parent is so funny. I remember this and by the end of the season literally every parent talked about it. I am scarred and so make sure I yell for everyone. If Suzy the sub gets in for one minute by golly I cheer for her like it is the world cup. Actually I have found cheering for everyone actually feels good. More people should try it. My kid even notices and appreciates when someone else's parent cheers them on.
