but you know going to the dance and ballet recitals is about on par with sandpapering your dick then pouring crab boil on it



I went to one last week and wanted to hang myself. She was #6 #19 and #22. I had to stay there from beginning to end. It’s the worse night of my life

Absolutely... or in the dance world... where the only score at a tournament are "platinum" and "double platinum" and we won several competitions where we were the only team entered because there are 466373 different categories.

Does that same logic apply for me as her father?


My daughters do this. It doesn't apply to me, but it does to my wife and it does to my mother (kids grandmother)

At least for her Christmas production they sell alcohol. They don’t sell alcohol for these summer recitals for some reason.

So I just walked out to the truck between #6 and #19

if you think baseball is worst... it's not even in the top 5 or 6... for the BS...I coached this year - I had only had ONE time where I had to politely and fairly quietly tell a parent he crossed a line... actually years ago when alcohol was much more free flowing at kids sports it was significantly worse.....


Now the parents just show up drunk, or sneak booze in with their matching yeti cups. There is no less drinking going on.

A simple google search will find hundreds of college and professional coaches, with videos and articles stating how horrible an idea it is for a kid at that age to focus on one sport.

The poor umpires that have to work those tournaments. The parents can be really nasty.

There might not be anything more typical of today's stupid Americans, than travel ball coach pitch teams.

I’ve got two friends who each have a 10 year old. They both play travel ball and both got a World Series ring last year. Yet they didn’t even play each other. Same town. It’s really dumb.

I love tournament ball. Our rec league is a joke. (Volunteer) Coach who don’t know shite has his kid on shortstop but can’t even throw to first. kids don’t learn anything, he’ll they don’t even practice anymore when games start.

You worry about too much crap that does not concern you.

Don't like it, don't read it.

Really don't like it, leave FB.

actually this is going to be the death knell for most youth sporting events fewer and fewer and fewer people are wanting to officiate them.. but then again... the 3 single worst things from parents I have seen were all at youth games... 2 wreck league at JPRD and one travel ball the 2 in JPRD were long long before "travel ball"


but the guys that are officiating kids games are getting more and more money.

Is different. There’s only one organization that matters, USYSA. And the regionals are going on right now. The teams that win these four regionals will go on to nationals. There will only be one national champion.
