[quote=Anonymous]My son is 12 and is on a travel soccer team.  At one of the last games of the season, which was between two teams in our same club, my husband stated that he disagreed with an offsides call that the ref made.  One of the parents of a player on the other team, who my son was friends with from school and our local park (but not outside school, except when they ran into each other at the park), overheard came over screaming in rage and threatened my husband.  My husband just didn't respond, and another parent told the guy to calm down and get away from us.

That's all over with, but now my son refuses to even acknowledge the kid when he sees him.  I have explained, as has my husband, that the incident was not the kid's fault, and he can't be held accountable for his dad.  I think a basic saying hello and acknowleding the kid's existance is appropriate, and that the kids don't need to avoid each other if they are in a group with others. I feel like my son is behaving unreasonably and being a jerk, but he is 12, I am not always with him, and I can't really think of a way that I can make him change his behavior.
