It was sarcastic - notice that comes after "you think". I guess that wasn't as obvious as I thought.

If we are being precise, in your latest post, the period should have come inside the quotation marks. As in..."you think."

So after you corrected someone's grammar, you make the same mistake you corrected and in your attempt to make an excuse for that first mistake, you made another. Lol.

Lol. Good try at saving face.

Yes, I'm desperate to save my anonymous face. I'm so worried someone who thought my club's parents are all douches might still think we're douches.

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.

Sorry you feel that way. You may think we are douches, but we think you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". (I'm sure you think this comment proves you're point.)

Yep, we think most of us are fine (a few bad apples in every bunch), and we have fun together and cheer on our kids. I'm guessing that's what any family is looking for in the end, not winning the enduring respect of the parents further down the sideline.

Hahahahaha--pure comedy! This is why it never pays to correct grammar....it ends up biting back in the end.

+1000

Arlington Parent for the win lol.

Douche is gonna douche.

So folks, in a nutshell, that is how Arlington parents act.

It is well known that all Grammar Nazi's are douches. Thanks for not disappointing Arlington.

Also, Nazi's is for stuff that belongs to Nazis. Maybe work on those apostrophes too.

Seriously, I couldn't care less, it just made me laugh that a comment calling us all douches was written that way. And you sound hurt that I pointed it out.

You don't even know when your being trolled.

Sure...because I'm the one clearly getting upset.

My sense is that Arlington coaches can be a bit more compassionate with and about players. Better feedback, fewer surprises around try outs. I think the parents are similar everywhere, though I agree with the PP that Arlington parents seem to do more (insistent and louder) coaches from the side. A lot of it.
