[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the deal with those soccer parents who are yelling non-stop "encouragements" from the sidelines.  The kids (a) can't hear them and (b) wouldn't care if they could hear them - which they mostly can't.

Half the stuff they say is just bizarre too, like another language.  Why not just sit quietly and clap or cheer on occasion when it's warranted?

This does not happen in any other sport.  I find those parents who just yap at the field non-stop so off-putting.[/quote]

There is not a single sport that kids play where parents do not yell at the kids -- at all ages.  I went to a big high school in the 1980s and there were a thousand people at the football games and you could hear parents yelling to their kids.

That is what happens in sports.  Same thing happens at pro sports including pro soccer both here and in Europe.  No one at a sporting match sits quietly and cheers and claps on occasion.  [/quote]

Professional tennis and golf dislike this post.[/quote]

Same with equestrian.  Actually in dressage you can be eliminated if someone outside “coaches” you.
