@mimsical I walk by the local park where children are having a soccer practice… I count 5 parents in the parking lot watching from inside their running cars.

I always hated those kind of parents when I coached. Then it's "Why isn't my kid playing more?" during the games. Because your kid is standing there looking at cars driving by because they're more interested in them than the game, you morons.

@skotchygut @mimsical I also ran the league, and it was great fun when the rich parents were all "but why can't my kid play with six of their rich friends instead of the kids from the poor side of town?" Ugh. Go play in the pay to play league instead of the city league, clowns.
