Holey crap. This really was about dudes kid not being able to kick a ball. Wow.
Life’s hard. Then you die.
It’s what my old man told me.
I’m sure Braxton will be okay. Travel fall ball is around the corner.

On high school varsity as an 8th grader...the last two games of the season.
The whole idea of that opportunity disappearing wouldn’t be a loss to a 14 yr old boy?
Sure, but it's not like he can't play next season, and for the 3 seasons following that. It takes away a bit of bragging rights, but ultimately it has zero affect on the grand scheme of his life. You're blowing this way out of proportion. Sure, he's disappointed, and it's okay to be disappointed, but this has zero long term ramifications.

Well for 14 years you must have given him a trophy and made life easy for him. Maybe the problem is not him but the parenting.

Didn't you just tell us that they lost EVERY game this year? You've been his father for his whole life, and he's not used to disappointment yet?

I remind my kids all the time fair is where you ride rides and eat funnel cakes.

Probably, but not nearly as devastating as it is to his dad living vicariously through him.

It is better he grows up in reality. Life is a competition and it is never fair. Tell him work hard and be honest and it will payoff eventually but also that lying, lazy, weasels will also get a free pass at times.

this kid got dealt a bad hand 15 years ago when his mom let a loser blow a load in her snatch

Well no shite.
I love that it’s pathetic to feel for your kid.
The whole fricking OP is ‘what do you say to your kid...’

Your kid is a kicker. Relax

No kidding. Poor wittle boy should have realized his lot in life when his dad gets a boner from de-badging a car...

Both you and he need to put on your big girl panties and move on with life.
This event doesn’t make the needle move in real world parenting terms.
It’s sad you think it does.

frickin' JUNIOR HIGH season! He's still got his whole HS years to play! You think that's a gut punch? Think about those spring sport HS seniors this past spring. Those guys don't have any more time. Those guys who were borderline maybe getting a JC offer, to play the game a couple more years. Those kids who weren't even on the border, just playing their last few games IN THEIR LIFE!
Your kid still has a lot of football in front of him.

You tell him that it sucks, the overreaction to COVID sucks, but ultimately there's nothing you can do about it.
There are things in life that are way worse than not being able to play in a fricking football game as an 8th grader.

I’m still flame proof. You’d think this place would get you all weird.

An 8th grader getting playing time on varsity, and a full fresh uniform, 2 days after finishing a season at QB...not big to a 14 yr old? It literally disappearing 3 hours before your first travel varsity game day events started.
Life was unfair today.
Based on how you're handling this situation, life was unfair to him the second he was born with you as a father.

So little Mary is not into him? Explain that a large percent of girls identify as LGBT and if he pretends to by gay they may let him hang out with them.

After reading your reason for "life being unfair", I suggest you BOTH get in your car and drive to the nearest Children's Hospital (there is one in NOLA, BTR, and Memphis) and see what the term "unfair" really means.

I tell my boys all the time life isn’t fair. It sucks epically when it effects the young ones, but the sooner they realize how the world works the better off they will be. Don’t shelter them forever
