[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all make choices everyday. If you choose to yell at my kid, there is a big risk of finding me in your face.  Is the risk worth the reward? Up to you.[/quote]

If your kid sucks and you get your butt kicked you really look like a loser chump..[/quote]

You are absolutely correct and all I'm saying is that it's a big risk to you as well. Is it worth the risk you are taking?[/quote]

It's no risk to me at all.  Firstly the idea of getting my butt kicked doesn't bother me at all.  Fighting and beating or, on occasion, getting beaten are just a daily part of life for a man - or at least they used to be.  Neither worries me at all.  And secondly if your kid is a mal-coordinated unathletic waste of field space, the odds are pretty good they inherited it from you.  So you're not likely to be winning the fight you seem so eager to have in any case.[/quote]

If a player comes home from a game saying that a certain teammate’s parent yelled negative comments at them during the game, I can easily see an angry parent, potentially along with his thug friends, visit the other parent that evening/night at his/her home. Being teammates, they would know exactly who you are and where you live.  By the time the cops come………..Never underestimate the power of an angry and protective parent![/quote]

This will never happen. Lots of tough talk here on these boards but nobody is gathering a posse and hunting some parent down because they said some mean things to their kid at a soccer game.

Now, I would expect words to be exchanged at a practice or the next game if it happens again but most people will not go beyond the "STFU about my kid!" and leave it at that. It doesn't deserve much more than that either. Tell them to their face that they are a A-hole and move on. [/quote]

Sounds like you’re on a mostly or all White team. On a more diverse team, you better believe it will happen. [/quote]

Whatever is gonna happen will happen at the field at that moment. That I can promise. [/quote]
