So there is the crux of the disagreement. Some parents consider that language abusive and others consider it rude, but not abusive, and indicative of something the kid may experience out in the real world. Should coaches use that language? No. Is it abusive? That’s a matter of opinion and parents are free to make their choice about staying or leaving. [/quote]

Correct.  And for those of us who have chosen to leave and not subject our kids to that type of an environment over something as trivial as soccer, there are apparently people who rather say "you were cut" or "denied an offer" instead of recognizing a choice has been made.    But hey, if that's what they need to say to justify why they stay, have at it.  [/quote]

I don't assume everyone else was cut or not offered.  There's a right fit for every child, plenty of places to choose from around here.  But, the thought that FCV parents sit by and allow their kids to be abused all in the name of some wins and scholarships is just not accurate.  That talk should stop.  No parent in their right mind at any club is going to tolerate that.  [/quote]

It is true. However, you have to remember there are a lot of kids and a lot of reasons/ types of treatment that negative impacts the players.  You are lucky.  Your daughter has escaped the wrath of Bobby.  Good for you as a parent for sucking up to him and ensuring a ticket to the National team.  You will look back on this and realize you have done damage to your child.  Enjoy your glory posts at top drawer soccer etc. thank goodness you save some college money for the therapy coming your kids way.  BTW - kids who are abused typically grow up to be abusers.

Good luck to you. My kid isn’t damaged, not going to the National Team, and who knows if she’ll even play at college.  My experience and what I’ve seen is not a culture of abuse. I guess anyone who doesn’t agree with you must be wrong. Whatever.  We won’t change each other’s minds. Enjoy the day. Try to relax.  [/quote]

You should leave. Too logical for this know-it-board that can parent their own kids and others they've never met.[/quote]

You're right, I shouldn't have tried to make sense or be civil.   This sure went off the rails fast.  [/quote]
