I love sports, but my god are there so many dicks in youth sports

Posted by Reagen Apr 16 '23, 18:14

it was G's last tournament of the year for basketball - one team had a fight *between* the parents during a game, and were drinking in the gym. Today, in our last game, the opposing coach was bitching about having to play our team, because we were beneath them and they thought they should be in the bronze game (misunderstanding the tie-breakers. Also, win your fucking games, there's no problem then).

Then during the game, he kept bitching to the ref, at one point after a (admittedly light) foul, sarcastically saying "can you check with the shooter? See if she's OK?" - didn't know there had to be an injury for a foul, are we in prison? After the ref (politely) told him to hold his comments to himself, he then went "Oh, I thought we were allowed to make comments!" Should have been T-d and/or kicked out.

We lost by 1 after all his bullshit (and some dodgy calls, but we also got hugely rebounded, so it was in our control), so stuff it, asshole.
