[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just started travel this year, so maybe my expectations are off.  Wanted to get a gut check:

Spouse gets a little enthusiastic on the sidelines.  Never calls out any individual player by name (other than our kid), but may call out if the defense or offense is lacking.  Nothing mean-spirited, mostly encouragement.  Sure, there were also some private parent-to-parent conversations on the sideline that may have been more critical, but nothing loud enough for a player or even another parent in the stands to hear . . . unless they were eavesdropping.

Yesterday, after the tournament weekend, spouse gets a call from the OWNER of the club dressing him down for his sideline behavior.  Another parent on the team got the same call.  I would have thought adults could have a conversation with each other, or even with the coach, before involving the owner of the entire organization.

IS THIS NORMAL? [/quote]

Why are you calling your spouse, a man the name Karen ?  Why are we using women's names for poor behavior on men?  Stop it please.  We no longer use only female names for hurricanes and we shouldnt use Karen instead of the term jerk or Ahole[/quote]

And this is exactly the kind of behavior we expect from a (fill in the blank but you know what this is). Thank you for your lecture. [/quote]

You are both idiots. OP was calling the parents who presumably reported her asshole husband the sideline 'Karens,' never mind that the coaches probably did it themselves.

Her DH must have been a massive jerk though because the standard for that sort of response by the club is high.

I got that. But humorless boobs like you inevitably miss the point. The language and gender lecture is itself Karenal behavior. Twit. [/quote]

So you are an idiot and also not funny. Okay.[/quote]
