[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the original poster and no, i'm not racist.  My mother is from Belize so please let that silly idea go.  [b]He yells at his kid in spanish so the refs doesn't hear him cursing.[/b]  As for the college comment, it was more about his soccer IQ (slince he claims to have played) as opposed to his appearance.

I did just receive an email from the TD and he will be coming to a few of the games to observe.  His son is actually a really nice kid and feel bad seeing him get verbally abused during the game, I assume the ride home is even worse.  I just wanted to vent here, I'm going to invest in some BOSE headphones for the games!    [/quote]

Look, the only way his yelling in Spanish is at all relevant to your case is if he is cursing in Spanish and not in English because he feels he can get away with it. Other than that if he is yelling and being derogatory it doesn't matter what language and it is immaterial. Your making a point that he also yells in Spanish is a very passive aggressive racist rant. But, for all you know he could be yelling I love in Spanish.

So either you speak Spanish and you know what he is yelling in Spanish or you don't speak Spanish and he is yelling God knows what in a another language threatens you because you don't know what he is saying? [/quote]

Not op, but can't you read, or are you so uneducated yourself that you think people can't recognize swearing in Spanish?

No, it doesn't matter if the parent is cursing in English, Spanish or Greek. Especially here, in this forum where the OP is just asking for advice on how to handle the situation. Again, the only part that is relevant is that he is ONLY cursing in Spanish because he thinks he can get away with it. Other than that, the language doesn't matter.

All the OP had to say is "We have a nutjob parent on the team who is yelling and cursing at the game. He hasn't been called out by the coach or refs because he curses exclusively in Spanish and they are unaware of what exactly he is saying."

Except OP's mother is from Belize, so OP does know what is being said in Spanish.[/quote]

He doesn't need to qualify his Spanish speaking credentials.[/quote]
