The end of Soccer Dad
Listen up. You had your chance. Just let your kid play. Stop posting on forums like you deserve to coach Man U or because you once sat next to a guy that had a cousin that was married to a guy that looks like Wayne Rooney.
Just because you played soccer until you were 10 and then played intramurals at Mt. Hood Community College doesn't give you the right to condemn others, criticize A and B licenced coaches or talk **** about the DOC of your DD/DS's soccer club. Just because you watch the Fox Soccer Channel on Sunday when all of the real men are watching the Niners vs. Seahawks doesn't make you the soccer genius you think you are. It actually makes you a tool.

You can spare us the I've been around since the stone ages and I'm so wise stuff. While some college teams play more direct than others, none of them play kick ball. And it's precisely the fact that these times are priceless that I'd like to see a better experience.
Your grandpa good old days comments are all great and mom and apple pie and stuff, the kind of thing that people can't argue against like baby bunny rabbits are cute, but which team in this video do you think is having more fun playing. What experience would your kid rather have. What would you rather watch as a parent. Do you think your speed demon would have been better prepared if she played for the team featured in the first half of the video or the team in the second half. It's not about being a purist, it's about the desire to move beyond kick ball, and
1) have MORE fun than a kick ball team
2) learn MORE about life skills than a kick ball team, like sticking to a discipline, learning to problem solve, building a skill, working as a team
3) developing friendships that are even stronger because 1 and 2 above were so much better than a kick ball team
4 getting out of the house because you love to play because 1, 2, and 3 above are so much better than on a kick ball team
While I do appreciate that you are actually offering a good explanation and reasoning, I have two comments:
- If you really want to offer useful comments, you will get a lot more mileage if you use a constructive approach. If you tell everyone they are idiots, but then try to tell them how you know better, that is never going to get any traction.
- I know a lot better than ever clicking on a link from this anonymous chat room so maybe you could tell more about what this link is about?

To check whether a compound noun is two words, one word, or hyphenated, you may need to look it up in the dictionary. If you can't find the word in the dictionary, treat the noun as separate words.

Rule 2
Don't care what folks on an anonymous chat room think about your grammar.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHow does allowing a team to use a couple fast forwards to always play boot ball (which is direct play) helpful to developing the rest of team players? This kind of moronic idea stems from short-sighted, spoiled, parents who are focused on wins, wins only to sooth their twisted egos so they might strut proudly on the way back to to their car post-game. This is exactly why the US is so very far behind in many things, especially soccer. Immediate gratification (wins) traded for long-term success (learning the game) drives these choices in club and rec soccer. One style of play (possession) takes patience and strategic thinking the other caters to emotionally immature children pretending to be sports educated soccer moms. You see mommy wants a win, so Coach better deliver.
These parents really just want to post / share a pic of their DD, sporting a medal from their latest boot ball win onto Facebook, and are more interested in filling out their latest scrapbook, than actually dreaming of their kids learning the beautiful game. The "Soccer Mom", ignorant of the game, drivin by boredom and ego, more intertested in bragging to the neighbor about their young kids meaningless weekend success, are the single worst thing to occur in US soccer. Tell Mom to shut up, stay home, away from the pitch, find a new hobby (kids sports are not an adult hobby) and stop ruining this game with your cursory knowledge of Soccer. Go back to school, volunteer at a homeless shelter, or just take up drinking during the day, but stay out of this game please.

OR Soccer moms love medicore soccer
As long as the other parents are nice and we can drink after the tourney games who cares if my kids coach really is teaching her/him how to play.
Who cares if the club is more about paying the DOC big dollars than about developing soccer in our area as long as he knows my name and delivers those U12 state cups!
I'll write those premier level checks as longs as they make me feel like my daughter is having fun. Never mind that for a quarter as much she could be playing REC.

I don't agree with all aspects (the blog at times borders on being flame throwers), but it is an interesting read and I think influences a number of posters on this forum (some of the tone and even quotes come straight from the blog).
