A Little Over Dramatic Spectators
Are you glad soccer season is over with?
Recently, I attended a 4th grade/5th grade soccer game . . . while it is usually a pleasant and fun event to watch, I have to admit this last one was really quite annoying.
I couldn't believe my ears, when I heard the complaining from a spectator, maybe a parent of one of the soccer players, I don't know.
This 'fan' acted as if they were on the sidelines of the SUPER BOWL and I am not exaggerating. They were screaming and spewing nothing but negative comments the whole time.
Did I mention these are 4th or 5th graders???
This spectator was yelling at certain players, calling the kids names, questioning the coach's efforts -- who is a volunteer . . . the ONE VOLUNTEER coach.
Now I know there will always be the over-dramatic parents that cheer and scream loud for their kid and or team, which can be annoying. But AT LEAST it is positive cheering.
But this recent spectator made the whole experience... just unbelievabley terrible.
I was very tempted to say something . . . but in the back of my head, I remember my mother saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
And maybe this is a motto for this negative spectator to learn.
. . . Looking forward to basketball season . . .
. . . ? ? ? smile

We met Friday via Jim & Wendy ... I just googled baycity and alas I got here !
Enjoyed meeting you. Michigan certainly has its' challenges however Bay City does seem like a friendly and fun place. As for your soccer parent thing, it is like everyone is acting out a skit for a YouTube exclusive or at least you hope so per all the F'ing drama. When I was growing up in Mid-Michigan nobody gave a crap about any sport til at least JV. Varsity sports was crazy but not drama queen and king parental stuff. Have a good week Julie ! I am off to NYC tomorrow but then back to Denver for a few weeks. Take care of Wendy. Ciao, John |
