My kid played club soccer for the first time this past season. Overall it was a great experience. He made some new friends and enjoyed the experience and I met some parents that were generally cool and not horrible to be around. Tryouts were two weeks ago, and the club is trying to grow so they allowed new coaches to come in and bring in their own teams (Not happy about it but it is the nature of club sports). My kid ended up in a lower division because of that for the next year. Again not happy but I know that he had some skills to work on and several of his teammates also got dropped into the lower division. Most of the parents were in the same mindset of not being happy about it but we were looking forward to the kids growing their skillset and building on what they had built this past year. All except one parent.

This one parent threw a fit and tried to get all the other parents to quit the team. She herself declined the offer to have her kid play and made it clear that her goal was to make sure that the third team would not be around. In the end, she threatened to pull her other kid, who is actually good from a different age level and would play somewhere else. The club management did not want to see that happen so they finally gave in and moved her son back to the team he was on last year. When I called her out on it of course I became the bad guy. All I did was explain to her that if she was always going to remove barriers for her kid then he would struggle later in life and become a softie who would live in her basement into his 40's. From there she has tried to turn several parents against Me and my kid.

Anyway long story short, parents who clearly need more to do in their life than cause drama in kids' sports can fuck all the way off.

I saw one of my pet peeves up close today and got to see him receive his karma. Some junkie crossing the street at a red light, a truck in the middle lane was easing up right as he appeared in front of him and he braked, when the junkies got almost to the sidewalk he looked back and said some shit, the truck followed him when the light turn greened and last I saw he was getting his ass whupped, love to see it

People that just don’t listen, refuse to accept what you’re telling them, or ask the same thing multiple ways and/or at different times to see if they can get a different answer.

My answer isn’t going to change.

Sounds like one of my meat cutters. He's a Latino kid and whenever you have to talk to him about any little issue he turns it into this. I'm not 100% sure but I think he's on the spectrum. Recently the meat manager had use or lose vacation to burn so we tried to put him in charge for two weeks since he had seniority but he didn't want to do it because he wanted manager's pay so we gave it to the new guy. The way it works is the manager orders material and the low man has to pick it up from the pallets when it arrived. This kid was complaining that he'd ordered too much and he didn't like having to make so many trips and I told him, "there;s two types of people, bosses and bitches, you chose to be the bitch so keep you mouth shut and do your job". He didn't like that :lol:

Rob Gronkowski says Baby Gronk's dad reached out '500 times,' has gone too far

Baby Gronk is not amused by Jake San Miguel, who has nicknamed his son Baby Gronk and reached out to Gronkowski 500 times.
www.boston.com

There’s a 10-year-old whose father named him “Madden” and has also nicknamed him “Baby Gronk” after former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski.

Jake San Miguel told The Athletic that he markets his son with a goal of building a money-making platform that will make the child a millionaire by the time he graduates high school.

Baby Gronk now has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media after posting football highlights, pictures with celebrities, and photos on college campuses wearing jerseys from Power-5 programs.

But, the real Gronk is not amused.

“Four weeks ago, my brother told me, ‘Yo, have you seen Baby Gronk?’” Gronkowski told Barstool. “‘Did I see him? ‘ I go. ‘His dad hit me up 500 times already.’ He goes, ‘Don’t do anything.’ The dad is so annoying. And this was like five, six weeks ago. And then all of a sudden, two weeks later, it’s coming out everywhere. My brother died laughing.”

The four-time Super Bowl champ told Barstool Sports that he plans to send a cease and desist letter to San Miguel.

"It’s to a point where it’s awkward,” Gronkowski said. “It’s too far.”
