I assumed that was what the person was getting at. However, I disagree that it makes it appropriate to knock on someone's height (which they have zero control over), or weight (which they may or may not have any control over). I also disagree that it is relevant how athletic this guy was, or what his appearance is like. If Alphonso Davies' had a kid on my 13 year old kid's team, and he was making overt disparaging remarks about my kid during a game, it's still inappropriate, rude, and against the club rules.

I see your point and also boo hoo for the anonymous short dumpy guy. I guess don't yell at children and people won't make unkind comments about you. OP was frustrated and made an unkind comment. It happens. I assume (and hope!) she wouldn't say this in front of her kids[/quote]

WTH?  So if someone makes an unkind comment about my kid at a game and they happen to be disabled would it be cool by you if I made ableist comments about them since I was "frustrated?"
The commenting guy is a obviously jerk, but I stand by my view that so is OP.[/quote]

Fat, out of shape dads are the worst.  Yes, they are the ones that expect kids to play like FIFA players and don't understand development and are highly critical of the play on the field.  Kids don't even gain the depth perception to anticipate a 1v1 against the goalie until they are older.  Former players know the difficulty of plays/touches that appear to look simple to a novice that has never played the game.

I think the protester in this situation happens to be fat and dumpy and can dish it out, but can't take any criticism directed back his way.  And, yes, this is something you say on an anonymous message board.  It's not like she's going to say 'hey, Fat F*&lkk shut your pie hole'.  The sideline bullies can never handle when it's directed back at them.  Story as old as time.

No adult should be loudly criticizing anyone else's kid, much less their own.  And, joystick, sideline coaching and telling players what to do ....IS FORBIDDEN.  I'm so disgusted by parents telling other kids 'hey jimmie move here, blah, blah, blah...when they are listening to THEIR COACH and doing what he/she has told them to do.  The fat loud mouth is just a distraction to the play on the field.  [/quote]
