I almost gave up on this thread on page 5. So glad I didn’t.

It’s literally just a bullshite policy that uniquely effects my son in a way that crushes his spirit.
Look man, he should known he wasn't gonna get to play girl sports just because he had a surgery and started the hormone therapy. It's not fair to the real girls.
Also, if y'all play on the north shore let me know so I can come kick your arse.

What kind of life’s unfair scenario would have been fulfilling?
You are one tone-deaf tard to come here looking for sympathy and compassion for your 8th grade QUARTERBACK who did not get to Kick Field Goals in a Varsity football game because of quarantine(something completely out of his control).
Perspective from the average OTer with the average son:
My son was a good basketball player for 5 yrs in his Catholic league and AYBA.
After 8th grade, he practiced all Summer for the freshman tryouts at Dutchtown. I was legitimately impressed by his dedication and consistency.
But he did not make the freshman team. My son is simply too small and slow to play for a 5A high school basketball team.
That's a hard pill to swallow, but he wasn't devastated. He was upset for a day and the next day he said, "It's okay. I'll grow and get stronger. And I'll try out again next year."
Give the boy one of your fancy watches, get him some pizza, and y'all play a video game or throw the football together. Be there for him and do not let him see you all pissed off or sad about it. You move on with life with your chin up, and he'll follow suit.
Kids are only as resilient as their parents.

What may seem like a strong willed kid, is exactly the opposite, and instead, is a rigid, obsessive, clinging to this or that desire. His resulting persistence may resemble will, but has nothing in common with it. The power of it comes from subconscious, and it rules the individual, and allows the individual to only react. A person with true will is in command of his true intentions, acts from a free and conscious place of choosing, and is and able to stick to goals despite setbacks and distractions. His opposition is not a sign of will, but the absence of it.
What he doesn’t need is for you to be curt and dismissive, blowing him off, telling him things like, life‘s not fair. He needs a lifelong relationship with his father, that fosters trust, support, compassion, intention and expectation. A relationship that quells anxiety and despair by exploring things that may happen and the pain that they may bring. How to persist and persevere.

I’d love to get three white wines in your wife and ask her very candidly whether you cried more than your son did over this grave injustice.

Quit being a little bitch, I grew up where you are, went to the same school as your son, and when Katrina fricked up our lives we made the best and moved on. What kind of role model are you that turns to day drinking when you learn your son can’t kick a ball in the early years of his life. Teach him the lesson that needs to be learned, which is toughen up and move forward, instead of posting this weak shite to the internet.

Life is unfair. Only way to help even things up is to roll up your sleeves and work harder. Luck comes to those that earn it. Don't be afraid to whip some arse when the time comes. Be the hammer and not the nail, and vote Trump.

I don’t know Thomas all that much, but his place is fun.
Son finished Junior High football Tuesday night, with his best showing at QB all year...very accurate, calm...they lost every game this year and outside of a couple onside kicks, he didn’t get to do much with his foot.
Wednesday at school an assistant coach told him that the head coach expected him at practice...I brought him cleats, he kicked the ball really well. Head coach tells him after practice that he’ll definitely play Friday/today.
Thursday he gets his new uniform, number 99, and kicks exceptionally well with the special teams coach. Dead center, over the uprights from 44yds....set to play tonight.
Kid who isn’t at school today’s parents calls in at 11:00 and say he tested positive. We’re on our way to school to bring my boy his gear and we get a text...it’s so over, quarantined for 14 days, season ends next Friday unless they win tonight.
Just talked to the coach, he says show up in 14 days...confident they’ll win.
Gut punch for my son, and all his friends who are so proud of him. Rarely do 8th graders get to fully play varsity. Need them to win tonight, to see it happen now.
I know this all didn’t make sense, but oh well.
I am

You tell him: "if you think life is unfair now, don't vote for a democrat because it will only get worse."

Did the team win? Still in it?
Which is worse:
1. Not getting chance tonight, but still having played all season on JV team and still have 4 yrs remaining?
2. Playing and missing an XP and team losing because of an 8th grader with an over emotional father? Think of the scarring and headcase this would have created.

Did not bore myself reading this whole thread but if you are asking this question now (if he’s truly 14) then you need guidance as a parent. That is a nice way of saying you suck for not preparing him for life prior to now..

So why is the team still playing tonight, but he isn’t? Does he have the Rona? I thought it was some other player that had it

Cuz for me, it’s all of it.
