Today, I was coaching a little league soccer game. I was telling one of my players to go cover another kid. I said "go cover the little yellow kid!" because he happened to be wearing a yellow shirt. He also happened to be Asian. I then got death stares from his family members. FML

Today, while refereeing a soccer game, I was accused of being racist, blind, and a fascist by spectators. The game was played by a group of third graders. FML

Today, my tennis coach showed up to practice in an all white outfit. I exclaimed, "You're looking very white today!" He's African American. FML

Today, in basketball practice my coach was putting is in teams to run drills. He points to me and says, "You, go babysit my son by the stage." FML

Today, at a soccer game held by my girlfriend's family, some idiot went to kick the ball, missed by a mile, and hit the ground hard. So I started a slow, sarcastic clap. I got a load of angry looks, followed by verbal abuse when we found out he'd split his head open on the ground. FML

Today, I was refereeing a kid's soccer game, and noticed that on the field next to me was a referee I hated working with. I told the other referee I was working with that he was the laziest and most dumbass referee I had ever worked with. She then slapped me, and told me that it was her grandpa. FML

Running gag

Today, I was jogging in my neighborhood when I saw a kid's ball roll over to where I was jogging. I stopped, grabbed the ball for the kid and went to hand it to him. He then yelled, "Stranger danger!" and his parents came sprinting out. I had to explain the story to the police for 30 minutes. FML

Today, I went to my son's school soccer game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about it because my idiot son kept diving the moment anyone so much as breathed on him. It eventually earned him a penalty shot that won him the game. I was so ashamed, I snuck out to avoid being seen with him. FML

Today, I was at a soccer game when some guys walking behind me yelled that I had a nice ass. I then heard someone shout, "Hey, assholes. That's my daughter." He yelled at them for quite a while. He wasn't my dad, just some weird dude. FML

Own goal

Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML

Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML

In little kid leagues, it isn't uncommon for them to let someone play who has forgotten his uniform - or doesn't even have one. For example, a kid on my t-ball team never bought the shirt because he wasn't going to be there for all of the games

I think that some of the people posting comments on this one don't get it, like #3 and #24... It's ridiculous for them to assume that you were talking about his skin rather than his shirt.

He could have been wearing a yellow shirt under his jersey if his jersey happened to be a tank top.

#15 is an idiot...becasue if you're telling someone to cover "the yellow kid" then you're telling oneof your players to block the kid on the other team from being open

#23 and #58 - I agree, unfortunately in today's society we can say things or make jokes about white people that we can't with other races. Then again, in cases of racial oppression (that involve the Western world), white people have generally been the oppressors throughout most of history. So you'll forgive us if our sympathy is limited.

If his parents have such a complex about it, they probably should ban him from wearing yellow. It's just a colour, and you were trying to describe him in a quick way. I don't see why people should find things like that offensive, we have to be so careful about what we say when it shouldn't matter. If I was in that situation, I wouldn't be offended at all.

#20 - just read what you said, you can't seriously say "I thought Britons knew better", as if that one girl has actually spoken for all 60+ million of us. Anyway, it's unfair to shoot her down for having an opinion, she is just expressing what she thinks some people do. Maybe she worded it in a way that you took offence to, but she was just generalising.
