[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got that email - I am not at all defending yelling at those young refs or any of this boorish behavior, but I do think that this rule seems kind of dumb if we're talking about something like piercing studs that are taped over.  This is an age when a lot of girls are getting their ears pierced, are trying to work around back-to-back and overlapping sports schedules, and rec soccer is not exactly high contact.  [/quote]

Then challenge the rule with appropriate people, don’t challenge the ref who is paid to enforce the rule. Soccer dads are the worst. [/quote]

Guess you have never met the soccer moms. [/quote]

The dads are definitely worse than the moms. I've never seen a mom yell at a ref or a player. I have regularly witnessed dads yelling at refs and players. Dads who aren't even coaches (not that being a coach would give a pass - no one should be yelling).[/quote]

Then you haven't been to enough games.  Just this weekend a mom was yelling at a ref because he called a penalty but hadn't decided if it was a yellow card or not.  The mom starts repeating the rulebook to him LOUDLY over and over.  Yeah...only dads.  Okay.[/quote]
