F...Soccer Moms

[Monkeydad]

F....people who don't see how soccer has been diluted into a "let's all stop keeping score and bring only healthy snacks!" joke of a game by moms in minivans.

I agree with the sentiment about making my son know how to compete and succeed or lose on his own. Losing makes you work harder and when kids are young, it's a valuable lesson to team them that can affect their work ethic for the rest of their life. Many of these kids who are getting their bottoms powdered by their soccer moms until their teenagers are the kids who are turning into the bums chatting on their cellphones at the burger place while we're standing there waiting to order...and yeah, who we'll end up supporting with tax money for their lives.

When you hand your kids everything and protect them from ever knowing what failure feels like, you're doing them a huge disservice.

If I'm not coaching and rallying up the team to kick some butt, I'm going to be that dad at my son's baseball games who announces the score throughout the game so everyone knows their kid got beat by my kid.

No wonder it costs so much to sign our kids up for sports these days, we have to buy trophies for EVERYONE!
