[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funniest thing about all of this, is that literally nobody outside of the swimming world even remotely cares about swimming.

Neither of my kids play basketball, but I'll watch the youth highlights from friends, or even go to the HS games.

My DS plays tackle football.  And people without kids in football will take an interest and comment on his videos or the outcome of his game.

But swimming?  GTFO.  Nobody cares[/quote]

The funniest thing about this is that, while insulting parents who post videos of their kids swimming, you simultaneously tell people - not sarcastically - that you post your son’s football videos (GTFO, who plays football anymore?!) and actually think people GAF about that. Didn’t major in logic in college, I see.[/quote]

I was PP that posted that nobody cares about swimming (and I stand by it)

But I wasn't saying not to post the video.  Post away!  Brag about your kids.  Just dont get upset with your neighbors video of their kid scoring a touchdown gets more engagement[/quote]

You’re insane if you think people care more about one sport over another in SM posts. I think certain sports are more interesting to watch but I give no real attention to any kid focused sports SM posts, even those involving your football playing kid. [/quote]

The amount of people suffering from main character syndrome is ridiculous.  you're insane if you think the rest of the world doesnt watch youth athletic highlights simply because you don't.

People absolutely do and there is ata to back it up.

the highlights of my DS playing football get 20x the views of my other DS on archery or my DD on track.  But my DD's softball highlights gets 10x the views of her track highlights.

But at the end of the day, I don't care.  I still post and share them bc I know people are interested in seeing my kid's successes, just as I am interested in seeing, sharing in, and celebrating their kid's successes

Your last sentence contradicts your original post in its entirety. You said, no one GAF about swim, implying people are crazy to post these videos on social media. You followed that up with a version of “but everyone definitely loves tackle football so I always post videos of my son playing that sport.” That was idiotic, as perhaps you now recognize. So your retort is that you post videos of your kid’s sport and get support for, your “friends” and you likewise support your “friends’” kids’ sports, “celebrating their successes.”

Fabulous, but how is that at all consistent with your original point, which was basically to tell swim parents to sit down and STFU? I agree, great if you want to post your stupid videos, as long as you don’t bash others for posting their stupid videos. (And please, the talented athletes are not going into football anymore, not in my “bubble” or in what you - not me - term flyover states. The swimmers in the DMV are probably some of the most competitive in the country, so if we’re looking at talented kids people may actually GAF about, DMV swimmers (and lacrosse and soccer) probably rank higher than DMV football players.
