I'd hate to be HIS son. Must be embarassing.

Found on the most recent posts thing.

How charming. An ass and a drunk all in one. I bet he's the kind of dad who would stab the coach during a little league game. *shakes head*

wow, what the hell? i knew these people existed, i just didn't realize they would put it all out there like this for the world to see.

He sounds like a charmer. I bet his kid is all 'stay at home dad, you don't need to come to every game'. I'd disown him.

You know how you read in the news about parents killing each other/killing coaches/beating their kids over Little League games? That's the kind of parent that guy sounds like. Neanderthals like that shouldn't be breeding in the first place.

I so agree! IT's people like him that cause other parents to remove their children from organized sports.

[interactiveleaf.livejournal.com]

That was appalling. Still, it's a public service of sorts to remind the rest of us that those people are *out there*!

[toastedtuna.livejournal.com]

Shoulda kept my mouth shut, but didn't. What a fuckwad.

[toastedtuna.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Not only did he DELETE what I said, but he BANNED me from his journal, too!

He needs a fucking reality check. These are KIDS. It's men like him that caused us to remove our own son from organized sports entirely. You should see these men out there. YOu'd think they had millions of dollars riding on the game or something. It's embarrassing.

Dude, and OMG!

According to this entry, his son is only EIGHT!!!!!!

FUCKING A!

He's calling EIGHT year olds "fags" and the like?

[push-the-limits.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

*shaking head*

I'm appalled at the fact that he said they played like "fags."
I don't like that word being used in ANY context.

[conuly]

Well, it DOES mean a cigarette. Maybe that's what he means, that the boys played like inanimate objects.

"Our kids all played like fags with a few exceptions"

This guy is my new hero.

Seriously. I'm about to get up and go find him and get drunk right with him and bitch and moan about how 8 year olds don't play football right.

[conuly]

And they're all terribly gay, in the non-happy sense?

Or maybe they're just cigarettes.

Well wahh, fuckin' wahh, fuckin' wahhh

Here is his only reply in that thread so far. I love how he blames his parents for not pushing him, when he was quite certainly old enough to decide whether or not he wanted to play sports! I don't know how many people in this thread are parents, but in case you're not: our son was 5 when he decided to play baseball, and 9 when he decided to take up guitar lessons. He makes his own choices. We encourage, and do not push. This guy's a major fricken loser, and it's no wonder he's got a drinking problem. I can only hope his son is wise enough to keep from repeating his father's mistakes.

I can't really expect anyone else to understand how competitive I am. My son is a great kid and an excellent athlete and I know that he has the physical ability to be one of the best players every time he's on the field.

I push him hard because I want to see him excel in everything he does. My parents never pushed me although I was always a great athlete. Our high school's starting quarterback used to sit when he played with us outside of school because I could throw far better, run faster, etc. The only reason I never played on the team is because I was a stupid, long haired punk whose parents didn't push him to pursue a higher goal. While some other people would say that my parents let me make me own choices, I disagree. I wasn't ready to make choices regarding the rest of my life at that age and I needed to be pushed. I wasn't and now I'm stuck in a deadend job making 35,000 dollars a year.

I want so much more for my son and I've always made it clear to him that he doesn't have to play anything if he's not having fun. He's having a lot of fun and that's pretty much all that matters to me.

I push him just as hard in school and in all things. He and I goof around all the time and he totally worships me as much as I do him.

Or maybe...it's just a "man thing".

Or maybe it's just a drunken loser thing, which happens when you spend too much time on the "should haves" and "could haves" instead of taking matters into your own hands?
