A mother .. on the sidelines ... heckling players... DURING PRACTICE?!?!


What the F---ing F---??

I have coached kids sports teams myself, and let me assure you, if any parent on any of my teams ever pulled that, it would last about 0.2 of one second before I ordered them to haul their arse off my field and out of my parking lot, and if they wanted to take Junior along with them, so be it.

She's horrible! Even the Outlaws coach (who is also obnoxious) told her that she needs to keep quiet. I guess acting civilized is too much to ask?

She would probably say, "I am just cheering for my boy," but the problem is, in practice, when you are cheering for "your boy," you are rooting for all the other boys trying to defend him to FAIL, and everybody on the team gets distracted by your screeching on the sidelines.

Maybe "your boy" thinks "wow that's awesome that mommy is screaming for me," but literally every other person on the team is thinking, "my god, I wish that b####h would STFU and get the hell out of here."

No decent coach would ever tolerate such bull crap from any parent. When I coached kids' sports I was fine with parents *watching* practices (I never wanted there to be any question whatsoever we were doing anything in practice I did not want the parents to see), but if any of them had started to hoot and holler on the sideline, I would ask them one time very politely to quiet down, and if they didn't, tell them to pack up and get the hell out.

I was trying to get my boys to bed, but was this the woman who said "Welcome to hollywood"?

Yeah, she screams all game long with 'clever' attacks on the opposing teams, refs, and even other players on her own team. (She is careful not to use profanity but is still constantly obnoxious to the point that in real life she would certainly get clobbered by other parents.)

Also when the coach ordered her kid in practice to run laps, Big Mommy WALKED alongside him for like a full lap, a very very slow lap,carrying on a conversation, 'why does the coach think you have a bad attitude,' etc etc.

So then of course they show the coach talking to the kid, 'I told you to run laps and you went and walked it, what the hell was up with that,' and the kid says, 'oh, I was mad and I didn't feel like running.'

Obviously there is some reason the producers feel cannot even be discussed on camera the coaches will not say one single word to this crazy B#####.

I have played on, had relatives on, and coached some teams with obnoxious interfering parents, including some who were on school boards and athletic councils and had a lot of "clout," but I can never imagine a coach allowing a parent to blatantly interfere with a punishment during pracice.

No intelligent coach could ever allow this to happen, because if you did, all the other players see clear as day that Little Sonny Boy gets to do whatever he damn well pleases because Big Mommy will come and hold his little wee-wee through practice if the coaches say anything nasty to him, so the next time you tell anybody else to run laps (or anything else), they say, 'Eff You, I think I will walk these laps, and if you don't like it, maybe I will call MY Big Mommy to come hold my wee-wee."

Even under threat of firing I cannot imagine any coach ever putting up with this -- in a similar situation they would yell at the absolute foghorn top of their lungs, "Get the Eff Off My Practice Field, B#####," and if Big Mommy yelled back, "I can have you fired," they would say, "fine, have me fired, and then you can coach the team yourself, B#####."

That is almost always when the B##### shuts up and slinks off the field.


(My own guess is Mr. Coach is getting some sweet sweet sugar off Big Mommy. That's really about the only thing that would explain it.)

I, too, have coached kids and I can honestly say we did not allow parents to attend practices. This was outlined before the season started in a handout that had to be signed by both parent and player. This was basketball which is easier to control since you are in a gym. In football it is a bit tougher to enforce since parents can sit in their cars and watch from a distance. Nothing is gained by having the parents at practice. Don't they have jobs?

reply

These days, with child predators in the news every day, if you issue a blanket ban on parents attending practice, it sends up a huge red flag: "what are you doing in there you don't want parents to see?"

You don't want there to be any suspicion ever that you're doing anything you want to conceal from parents.

I made it clear parents were welcome to attend practice if they wanted, but there were to be no interruptions or distractions.

Few ever showed up and I don't ever recall there being any problems.

Those few who ever showed up usually sat on the sideline reading a book or something (this was in the days before smartphones).
