They think it's all over… it is now

Today, I was refereeing a soccer match and I called a foul. An angry coach kept screaming at me, saying, "You're crazy!" I asked him to leave the field. As he left, he lifted his middle finger and screamed, "FUCK YOU!" I ref 5-year-olds. FML

What a fantastic role model. People need to realize that children pick up these things extremely easily. Set an example for them by behaving like you want them to.

Wow, they learned sportsmanship and vocabulary in one game! Who says sports don't build character?

Like knowing when to go to anger management. (Do they have that for five year olds?)

#1, what if I think kids ought to be cussing and flipping birds?

Well, that's your choice as a parent. I wouldn't suggest flipping birds, though. People tend to frown in disapproval when animals are manhandled that way.

#19: I don't know about five year olds, but when my friend was in elementary school he had to go to an anger management class. Instead of art class, he went with some other kids to learn how to handle conflicts. He didn't even realize it was anger management until the end of it when they presented him with a certificate.

I know that when I played football at that age it was something that was great fun, now refereeing has shown me how competitive parents get. Violence. Then that violence transfers to the kid. It just isn't right at all.

Haha, #32 one of my best friends had to go to anger management in Jr. High, he knew he went there though (it was school appointed). Luckily he took up football as a defensive lineman to take out his anger. To this day we still joke about it, but a coach of 5 yr olds to lose it is uncalled for...

What was the foul? did the kid get a card? if so, was it a yellow or red?

How pathetic would it be if the kid in question didn't get a red card. I mean, yellow is bad, but you still get to play.

And then we wonder why kids are the way that they are. What an idiot.

"What the flying bat shit was that Timmy!?? You call that a ******* kick!?" That's what I picture practice being like.

I can just imagine a bunch of 5 yr olds running around with their middle fingers up shouting F### You during the rest of the game.

This is why most children are complete arseholes these days. I don't think most people realise how much they look up to their mentors.

I wouldn't say most. A lot are, but most is pushing it, most kids I know are pretty polite.

I won't deny there are plenty of really sweet kids out there, but the among the slightly spoilt ones who happen to have lots of different influences around them? Meh.

#60, at least you know how to use the word "asshole." I'll bet you picked that up in Little League.
