[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do parents yell more at Boys’ or Girls’ games?[/quote]

Oddly, in my experience the yelling at girls’ soccer games is much more than at boys’ games.[/quote]

There is a clearer path for girls to college scholarships and national team and pro career.  It's like an actual possibility :lol:

Boys there is such a slim chance at some point they have to smell the coffee and wake the f*ck up.

Also, soccer is the top sport for girls.  Not so much for boys.  Boys have too many competing sports...sports that generate multi-million contracts.   Not the $150k year MLS salary.

When boys reach teens, they will turn and tell a parent to shut up (even when it's not their own parent).[/quote]

Why would there be a clearer path to college scholarships for girls?  Just a matter of fewer girls competing for the spots?  Sincere question -- I assume that any college that has girls soccer also has boys soccer.  But everywhere I've ever lived, there has always been girls travel soccer right along with boys travel soccer, so is the player pool really that much smaller?

As for national team and pro career, I mean ... I guess the questions are the same.  Aren't the chances of any individual girl actually making the national team and having a pro career just as remote as they are for any individual boy?  (Your point about competing sports for boys only supports the notion that there are so many boys playing so many other sports, that it doesn't make sense that soccer would be more difficult for boys to "go pro" than it would be for girls.)

By the way, most of the extreme yelling I hear at girls' soccer games seems to come from the fathers.  I sometimes wonder if those guys missed out on having sons, and are taking all of their sports-crazy male energy out on their daughters lol[/quote]
