[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what threatened parents say when they want the subs to accept their role. They believe challenging the status quo would upset the delicate balance of team chemistry and morale.

Being friendly with and wanting to take their spot are mutually exclusive. For the starter to use "friendship" as a way to manipulate and demotivate the teammate in the name of "friendship" is another technique used to protect ones status quo. We wouldn't want the sub to feel guilty by outplaying their friend now would we?[/quote]

Dude, you have issues.[/quote]

This can't seriously be the first time that it has occurred to parents that subs and B team players don't actually worship at the feet of their little starters?[/quote]

You're a special kind of a-hole.  I was a second-string / sub on some team sports when I was a kid.  I was friends with starters and "A-team" players.  It wasn't manipulation for crying out loud.  I wasn't good enough -- [b]I wasn't naturally talented enough, and wasn't motivated to work hard enough to improve my game enough[/b] -- to be a starter in some sports.  I enjoyed playing and hanging out with my friends.[/quote]

And that is what made you a dream sub for the team and your friends. Congrats, you accepted your role. Now kindly get out of the way of others who don't accept that role.[/quote]

No one needs to "get out of the way" because your son isn't going anywhere -- he's not going to be a soccer star.  Get over it.[/quote]
