[quote=Anonymous]Arlington parental behavior is not unique to soccer.  Arlington parents are Arlington parents in all aspects.   About 95% of mothers/fathers in a household are a lawyer or a lobbyist.  It's no wonder that lobbying and arguing a case spills over to their Snowflake and their sport team placement.  You know what other Club is just like this?  McLean.  Now, I think Arlington parents are generally better than McLean parents.  I find Arlington parents to be merely competitive with other Arlington parents and their kids' placement in the Club is a huge deal to them while McLean parents want to be superior all around. McLean parents are worse on the sideline.  You learn to pick your poison---or you could just avoid both.

HBO has been running that Travel soccer movie 'Bad Parents' starring Jeanane Garafolo.  While it's pretty awful the stereotypes of the parents and coaches in the movie are spot on.  She starts out as not giving a sh*t about soccer, but soon gets caught up in the fever to do anything to get her daughter on the A team at all costs.  It's hysterical and,  yes, she doesn't like herself and what she's become at the end.  The mom with 'the star', I have met her many times in the 6 years my kids have been playing.

Maybe some can watch it and gain enlightenment and take a hard look at themselves.[/quote]
