[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I mean this sincerely (ie I am not trying to mock you or sound trite) but it sounds like this is a case of simple old fashioned jealousy.

Nobody wants the jerk who doesn’t try very hard to succeed when there are so many other nice kids working their butts off on the same team.  But sometimes the jerks are really good at what they do, and they don’t have to try very hard to be better than their nice, hard-working teammates.  It’s true in sports and it’s true in life.

I would advise you and your son to train yourselves to not fixate on this kid or worry about what he is or is not doing.[/quote]
Yup.

How much people put up with depends on how good you are. Look at the nfl or college teams who will tolerate all sorts of things if the star produces. Or look at colleges and how they'll stretch admission standards if you they want you.

A kid on my son's baseball team fools around and acts like a jerk to other kids. But he's huge and can throw fast and hit bombs. Coaches bend over backwards for him and want him on their team.

Results matter. [/quote]
