I can understand parents having trouble with a coach in a personal area, but when you bring other "children" into the problems this makes for a mess. Not only is it childish to speak of children in this manner, how would you like it if someone talked of your child in this manner?
Secondly, this does nothing to promote team cohesiveness. It only works to break down the spirit of those "kids" who are playing for the love of the game, not to impress those parents in the stands. That is the problem, parents should butt out and let the kids play under the supervision of the coach. Why can't parents just let their children play and do as the coach says. We wonder why the kids are so confused and have this "its all about me attitude," it stems from the parents and trying to please mommy and daddy in the bleachers.
Many parents need to stop trying to re live their lives, sports lives, through their kids and let them enjoy the sport. That is what we are talking about right? It seems somewhere in the middle of all this name bashing we have forgotten what the goal is here. Promoting responsibility, discipline, respect, and effort.
What kind of actions can we expect to see from our children when they read this garbage on the computer and think if mom and dad says it, then it is ok.

Nice post and soooo true:thumpsup:
