Well that got oddly specific |
Hell yeah and I know exactly who you are talking about. |
You make think it's racist, but this happens. Latinos are really vested in this sport so get off your high horse, I'm Latino BTW and we joke to each other all the time. |
I'm not talking about anyone, i don't know anyone from VSA, |

The cheering at the opponent's parents dad. I'm not so much cheering for the kids on the field as I am taunting the other parents for my team's kids having temporarily achieved an athletic accomplishment slightly better than their kids. It is only a beautiful game if at the end I feel slightly superior to those losers' parents.
The sideline offender. Your half for your parents, our half for our parents. But etiquette doesn't apply to him. I'm gonna stand in the middle of the other parents and cheer loudly against their kids. No, nothing wrong could ever come of that. The briber. Maybe my kid will score if I pay him to. Wonder how much a goal is worth. The on the field mom. Mama bear sees an injury on the field, mama's gonna run on the field to comfort it. The dog owner. Fido's coming with me everywhere. That sign that says dogs aren't allowed on the turf, that doesn't apply to MY dog. The field prepper. It is 7:30 AM and this dude lined the field, dragged the nets out, put up corner flags, filled the Gatorade jugs, erected tents alone, and is ready to roll. Might even get in a good jog before the game. Thank you for your military service, sir. The shoulda won guy. No matter the opponent, the talent of the kids on our team, the effort of the ref, a bad call, a bad bounce, an own goal, a keeper mistake, a PK, our team shoulda won. Every game, we shoulda won. |
| I crapped my pants with some of these. Spot on for the most part, love the "kick it" mom. Yes stupid, kick the ball as far as you can, congrats you just lost possession. |
I am touchy-feely with everyone . That is just the way I am. It doesn't mean I want you, Soccer Dad.
But, if you are the guy with the Bloody Mary's in your cooler, I might touch you a little more than the rest of them. I need on of those Booze Dads on one of my kids' teams. I prefer Gin. |
And the brown noser...coach, i brought you a coffee, water, and a coke this morning not knowing which one you would want. Also, can Johnny start at striker today? thanks. |
These people make me want to fight!! Most of them you only get for a half, because their kid is either an attacking player or the keeper, so they stand on your sideline so they can be closest to their player's action as if they can't fully appreciate it from so far away on their side of the field. |

My kid has been playing since he was 4 and we honestly don't encounter a lot of drama.
The two we've experienced were: - One team were a disproportionate # of parents were very vocal and very unknowledgeable about the sport, and screamed "KICK IT, BRAYDEN!" every 3 seconds - that was a bad year. - More than a few times there have been parents who don't watch their toddlers. Insanity. So dangerous, so rude, so stupid. The worst is when they think it's cute to find their 35 lb kid on the field about to get clobbered by big kids in cleats. |
| The overweight dad with a clipboard and whistle around his neck, posing as a “travel coach”, and thinks people are actually taking him seriously. |
| The parent rec coach or volunteer rec coach who has been asked to stand in for the actual coach at a U9 travel game |
Either they view it as a promotion and start calling themselves the "assistant" or they're in way over their head and just counting the minutes until it's over. |
|
The parent that not only yells criticism at their kid through the game but also yells at the child's 8 and 9 year old teammates. "Come on Larla, you have to win that ball"
Hmm, am I paying all this money for you to coach my kid? |
| I want to see the guy that mapped out the teams/leagues to map out these profiles to teams! Come one FPYC Parent, get on it. |
