[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are a rich or upper middle class white person, right?  I am a rich or upper middle class black person, and I am constantly shocked at how my white contemporaries baby their kids and expect them not to receive criticism from adults, or view any such criticism as inappropriate.  I think it stems from the privilege that you anticipate that your kid will receive as they grown and mature, vs. the lack of privilage that I anticipate, even as an afflient person.[/quote]

Huh? I am a rich white person and would love my son’s club to develop and not replace. I would be happy if his coach was tough on them and actually coached instead of told them regularly that they are going to be replaced. I have seen this over multiple clubs - they want to win at any cost. We have kids who could be amazing if they believed in themself and the coach took the time to focus a bit of time on them. Instead, they are bullied at games by the coach and parents (black and white!). 
Additionally, if I am paying several thousand dollars a season, the kids should be developed. If yours aren’t, you are wasting your money. Your kid is not in the club to win a random coach a trophy. 
So, it has nothing to do with race. [/quote]
