[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It is NOT common in travel soccer for 11 year olds. Most teams have a rule that parents can’t yell/speak/coach/talk to the ref. [/quote]

Not common? LOL.

Take your comments to the Soccer page. The parents will chew you up there!

You certainly don't have kids (boys) in Travel soccer.

I'm glad I don't have kids (boys) in Travel soccer if this is how parents behave.  OP's DH needs to stfu and model better behavior for his son.  THat's the bigger issue than OP's kid giving another kid the silent treatment.[/quote]

Any Travel/competitive sport is the same. I have a kid in Basketball as well.  Sorry your kids are not athletic or a bit competitive.
