[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all due respect. I would accept that opinion if we were talking about who has the best potential to be a stand out athlete on a team. But that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about the sideline behavior and sportsmanship. In which case, its psychology, group dynamics and knowledge of basic manners which is more at play.  You don't need to be an elite athlete to know right from wrong, unless, it appears, you are married to one.[/quote]

Actually, nasty posters, I was telling you what my husband said because I dont usually notice how the other parents are acting.  I don't really care and am only interested in making sure my children are having fun and enjoying being on a team.  I also don't coach a team and so only see the e-mails that DH forwards me or reads to me from the crazy dads (probably your pussy husbands who sucked at sports, okay sorry that was mean but so were your stupid assumptions above) who want to know why little Bobby didn't play more or didn't get a shot at quaterback or whatever whinny pathetic issue-of-the-day the dad or mom has.

I was never a competitive athlete, and am not very interested in "competing" in general.  DH, DD, and DS, are all naturally athletic and super competitive people.  That tends to come out in sports.  Also, competitive people tend to notice other competitive people more than those of us who just dont care.   DH notices those parents for all these reasons.  I don't unless he calls it out for me to see.  Also, I do think its all pretty darn hilarious and I think my laughing at those parents helps DH lighten up about it.  Its got to be hard to be a coach of a team in this area and the parents who do it deserve our thanks.

So, in sum, get over yoursleves and your 1950s housewife comments.  I assure you, I am more modern, smart and feminist than you will ever be, by-otch.... oooooh.... O-K, so maybe I am a little competitive but only when someone calls me a june-cleaver-doormat.   :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Oh, and to 11:25, I didn't say he gives advice to DD's teams, I said he keeps his mouth shut there too because he has no frame of reference (didn't play the sport or didn't play well enough to give anyone advice).  You - yes you poster 11:25 - should maybe take that lessons to heart - the keeping your mouth shut part when you don't know anything.[/quote]
