The Latin parent who gets overly emotional at any mistake their child has. Encourages their child to dribble the length of the field and never look to pass to a teammate no matter even if its the correct play. [/quote]

Th spanish family who's son is obviously 14 with a mustache playing for the same u11 team that his 12 yr old brother plays for.[/quote]

So I guess for some of you "let's have some fun today" means it's time to trot out your favorite ignorant ethnic stereotypes and try to get a good laugh.  'Cause hey, it's OK to be a racist when you can be anonymous about it, right?

+1000 Fun post but hate that the racists need to screw it up.[/quote]

Now lets look at the bigger picture. the real racist are the clubs. They out price the lower income families from competing for the same roster spots as the child from a more affluent family. The pay to play model is far worse in the bigger picture. the latin fun comment was laughed at earlier in the thread by a latino. My question is would anyone take offense if the comment would have been "The slow non athletic white kid who constantly kicks the ball with no direction and loses possession every time after 3 dribbles."? That's racist as well, But also funny because every club has more than their fair share of this stereo type. Lets just all have fun. Every post on here you can find offense with if you look at it from someone else point of view. Except the slow non athletic white kid . Those parents are totally blind about their own kid. and truly believe little Johnny is great. Just lighten up a bit enjoy the day warm weather is right around the corner.[/quote]

You may have unearthed another stereotype. The parent who accuses the club of barring access to lower income families by charging unreasonable prices without ever having laid eyes on a typical club's budget. Most club's are not for profit and budgets are publicly available. Coaches deserve to be paid a decent wage, and fields and administration cost money. Many clubs have reduced fees for low income families.

Your post associates these supposedly disparaged lower income families as being "of race". You should be careful throwing around the "racist" term, your post resembles it.

I thought the PP unearthed a new stereotype as well. The one nobody ever acknowledges about their ds but talks about every other parents ds. The slow white kid who only plays because his family can shell out the big bucks for him to slow the entire game down due to lack of skill and athleticism.
