[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was happening on the field that prompted the Bethesda coach and the Bethesda parents to say whatever they said to the Delco players?  Why was the game so heated?[/quote]

The Bethesda coach and parents are adults and should be expected to act like adults regardless of what happens on the field. Why did any of the Bethesda ADULTS harass the players on the other team?

If you believe one poster attempting to excuse the behavior,  it is because they are poor and people of color. [/quote]

This is not going to be popular but needs to be said.  I watched the video before it was taken down.  It was annoying but "brawl" was very over the top.  They were just annoying.  Honestly, the kids of most of you DCUM have called my girls much worse starting in 5th grade in private school leagues.  Just saying.  My son is only 10 and playing high club level in Moco and I am preparing him to hear "The N word" so he is prepared for your kids (go ahead and clutch the pearls).  PA parents were chanting at our club when our boys were only 8.  The rule is always, "Control what you can control."  Nevertheless, disappointed the Delco girls did not learn to ignore those idiots because I consider my kids at fault for allowing another person to control their mindset.

Yet in still, this was annoying and should have been defused by a Bethesda parent.  There needs to be an enforcer parent (or salesman or saleswoman) on every team who knows how to have "that conversation" in a peaceful manner versus running on here to tattle tale.  Just watch Randy Moss and slip in a "C'mon man..." and the situation can be dissolved very quickly.  Conflict does not have to mean conflict.  Confront the situation when it happens.

“Annoying” would be one word for it. You can raise your kid however you want, but you shouldn’t have to raise 16 year old girls to be able to take insults and harassment from grown MEN. That should not be normalized. It’s a shame these girls are being looked at as guilty and looked at as a “disappointment” because they simply had enough. No child should have to take comments from ADULTS during their youth soccer game. I blame this on their coach, Shaun, for not controlling the parents because they couldn’t control themselves. When you really watch the film and listen closely to the vulgar comments made, you’d understand. [/quote]

There were no vulgar comments by the Bethesda parents. Delco also has veo - I challenge anyone to post a clip of vulgar comments by Bethesda parents. It simply didn’t happen. [/quote]

Not only has no one posted a clip, no one has even written what the Bethesda parents supposedly said, beyond saying it was vulgar, which you say didn’t happen, which is consistent with the refs not tossing or even talking to any Bethesda parents and the Delco parents not doing anything to protect their daughters, perhaps because it didn’t happen. My guess is that some Bethesda parents celebrated immaturely (and consistently with Bethesda parent behavior I’ve seen many times) at the end of a close game, a Delco parent understandably (and consistent with Delco parent behavior I’ve seen many times) told them to shut up, and the shameful fracas ensued.  Until someone who was there relays what happened in some detail or someone who has access posts video clips, I’d suggest the rest of us withhold judgement. I do realize that won’t happen, because this is DC.[/quote]

The link was posted then removed. It wasn't a full out brawl but definitely more than just shouting back and forth. [/quote]
