[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Wow.  Just wow.  I believe you can be passionate and caring without being an asshole.  You can cheer on your kid, other kids on the team, without screaming at the ref, telling the players what to do (shoot, shoot, SHOOT damn it) or say "nice save" to either keeper that makes a nice save, and not put down, mock or taunt the players or the parents on the other side.  It's called sportsmanship.  Or civility.  And it IS lacking in youth soccer.[/quote]

No it is not lacking.  The straw man the OP puts out here is just that, a straw man.  I have never seen any parent mock or put down a player.  It does not happen.[/quote]

This whole thread is hyperbole in the extreme.

You mean like saying “this whole thread is hyperbole in the extreme?”[/quote]

When a poster claims that kids are "terrorized" that is hyperbole. [/quote]

Yes. But that is not the whole thread. And I think hyperbole already means extreme. [/quote]

That was the first post and the premise of the thread. Yes, the entire premise of this thread is based on hyperbole.[/quote]
