| I have a kid at a younger age group. I found the SYC boys to be ok, the coach however was screaming inappropriate things on the sideline. I feel like Alexandria boys to be worse as far as sportsmanship. Their coach stood by, said nothing as their kid was issued a red card. As a parent, when you see this behavior, you think to yourself, you don't want your kid on that team. My high level, talented kid, will never try out for your mean spirited team. Other parents are thinking the same thing. And we don't want to be around obnoxious parents. |

This is an awful thread full of small people. If you are calling for “sanctions” on a kid after a game, you are a real loser. If you are characterizing an entire club based on your own limited experience while most certainly ignoring all the trash your own kids say (and hide from you), you are a real loser.
Things get heated in sports and it can bring out the regrettable things in people. There are also bad eggs and parents. To imply that SYC only has those type of kids/parents is the sign of an idiot or loser or most likely both. Again…let me guess…you lost the game to SYC?? |
You tell em, coach! |
| Agreed it's so idiotic it as has to be motivated by something lurking darker in someone's insecrurities and subconscious self hate |
My kid plays at ASA you loser. |
Or, their kid didn't make an MLS Next or GA team they wanted to be on there. |

Rule #1 is that if you criticize SYC in any way shape or form you are a racist. We never have enough field space to practice on, but if you point that out on here, it’s like you called ICE.
It’s a cute little wait to insulate yourself from any criticism. Your husband must love you. |
Cállate cabron! |
No but when you categorize an entire club as a certain way (you are implying both bad and Hispanic) that IS a little discriminatory don’t you think you dumb clown? |
|
You’re a moron. The fact that a club has and promotes a culture that is more tolerant of on-field aggression and cursing has nothing to do with race. The fact that a club also serves a more Hispanic population than, say, McLean has nothing to do with why they tolerate that kind of behavior. At least in my mind!
Consider who is connecting the dots here and whether you’re seeing what you want to see out of laziness and bias. |
| To generalize that all SYC players and parents behave this way is simply inaccurate. Every club, even academy, has instances of poor sportsmanship, but that does not define an entire organization. SYC also has many respectful players, coaches and parents who represent their teams and the community well. - A SYC Parent |
“The fact that…”. Source: My experiences and feelings. Go back to work you bum. |
This is 100% true. As a matter of fact, no generalization is ever true because there is always an exception. Always. And when a generalization can appropriately be made about more than one club, it no longer qualifies as a valid generalization. Finally, you can never prove a generalization unless you know every fact (does *every* bird fly south in the winter?), so every generalization is as FALSE as apparently the number 8 (which I’m told is very false). So let’s agree please, no more generalizations. |
| Been at SYC since 2020. I have only seen/heard one racist comment from one SYC player toward another SYC player. The coach dealt with it on the spot (inadequately in my opinion, but still the coach at least corrected it). That player ended up leaving the club within about another month after that. Bad cultural fit. Having observed the parents' behavior, especially the mom's, I actually feel sorry for the kid. |
Wow, angry much? Loser? Bad eggs and parents, you one of them? |
