[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is just the tip of the iceberg, OP.  My kids have repeated things other teams have said to them for years and it is appalling.  It is really shocking what some young kids will say when they are losing or another team is significantly better at a game.  I do not know where they get this stuff but your only responsibility is your own.  I always tell DD, DS and their team mates to "rise" above" as replying in a similar manner "takes you down to their level and only loser talk like that."   That kind of language is only employed by sad and pathetic kids who can not show their skill and so have to resort to bad language and name calling.  My kids absolutely know that and therefore it slides right off their backs and just makes them play better.  I truly believe that is the only way to combat such languiage from other children.  Don't give it any power and do not respond with words, just play even better.[/quote]

[b]And other teams have been going home with stories of what your kids and teammates have said. Truly - it is never only the other teams.[/b] [/quote]

You are exactly the type of "adult" the OP was describing.  Are you the coach on "the other team?"[/quote]
