[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Your husband “stated” that he disagreed with the ref call, but he “stated” it so loudly that someone from the other team heard and came running over?

Ha. This was my exact reaction. Keep in mind this is outdoors too so your DH "stated" it loudly for sure.

Tell your husband to shut up at the games as a first step.[/quote]

Unbelievable to me that people would focus on this, but perhaps not surprising on this site.  Yes, OP's husband should not have stated it loud enough for someone else to hear, but that seems like FAR less of a psycho thing to do than threatening another parent.[/quote]
+1 Questioning a ref’s call is uncool, though extraordinarily common. Running over and threatening to beat up a parent from the other team is deranged, and the people on here who think OP’s DH got what was coming to him are all ridiculous.

OP—you can’t make your kid interact with this other kid, so as long as you and DH have clearly told him why it’s not ok to penalize the kid for his dad’s behavior, there is nothing else to be done (other than continuing to tell your DH it’s inappropriate to yell at the ref). [/quote]

Because we understand that we are hearing only OPS side of the story of what DH said. 
We then connect the dots and understand that DH said something so inflammatory--and probably about the other man's child-- rather then imagining DH said "hey come on ref! That was in!" And some raging maniac came over to beat him up.
Op is an enabler of a man with anger management problems and she's trying to figure out how to smooth things over and pick up the pieces in his wake now that his emotional dysregulation has found its way out into public vs behind closed doors where she knows how to manage it.[/quote]
So, because we didn’t hear the other side of the story, you have decided to concoct one with no basis in fact and attack the OP’s DH’s behavior in your fictional story? That’s ridiculous, to say the least. I agree OP would be better off asking this question on the soccer forum given the “quality” of most of the answers here. [/quote]
