[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 1032127, member: 17060"] My son plays competitive travel soccer and we've seen the same ill behavior here in New Jersey (of all places, right). There are a few teams that have psychotic parents. The problem seems to be systemic, in that if you have one psychotic parent, you have a team full of ‘em. Must be some sort of licensing agreement. We had one father pull a weapon out at us because he thought we scored an off-side goal, not a gun mind you, but a cannon. He threatened us with a friggin cannon! After the game he just couldn’t contain himself and had to fire the thing into the air. One of our team moms called the state police and the idiot was hauled away, with his cannon. One of the best players on my son’s team is a girl. She is one of just a few girls in the entire league. We’ve seen parents taunt her, calling her hurtful names, during game play. I’ve seen normal, quiet parents go off too. I come from a family of Lacrosse players. My oldest brother was one of the top defensemen in the country in the ‘80’s. He earned the position of team captain at BC and played on many all-star teams. Anyway, during a high school game he made a clean, but brutal hit to another player. The kid flipped through the air and landed hard. The game was stopped and an ambulance was called to help the seriously injured player. A mom from the other team just went out of her mind, yelling a tirade that lasted for minutes. “Through him out of the game.” “Get that animal off the field.” “They ought to call the cops on that kid.” On and on she went. Finally my mom, my quiet never-say-anything-unless-you-have-something-nice-to-say mom, says…no yells at the woman (who was sitting right in front of us) “Why don’t you sit on your umbrella and open it” My brothers sat in quiet shock for a few seconds, and then fell over laughing. I don’t even remember the rest of the game. Ah, I miss my mom. [/QUOTE]
