Disruptive Parent Poll

[SoftballDadDave]

Hey, I'm just doing GameChanger. That keeps me occupied and, usually, quiet.

I remember one mom who was the opposite. Her daughter's softball kept disrupting her online shopping. Such an inconvenience to have to look up from her phone.

But you always got in on the best sales for team equipment, right?

I have cut two players from a team solely because of the parents. One was a very good pitcher at the time and our teams best hitter, both of this girls parents were absolutely insane.

The other was a middle of the pack player only her father was bad. This father actually called a tournament director and had our pool schedule changed for the tournament because he did not like the times we were playing at. I had no idea this father had called the tournament director until i showed up at the tournament for the check in.

I had someone mention today that the times are changing and some parents who seem to be "good" at games tear teams apart by their social media presence. I don't do much social media unless it is a message board.

That's awful. Passive aggressive BS. Either say it in person to the coach or club director, or shut up.

It's amazing how the longer you are around the game, the more you recognize all these parents. Not the exact ones, of course, well maybe the exact ones but definitely the types.

Apparently, you didn't know this parent was an Asst Coach.

A few times I happened to walk behind her it was clothes or shoes for herself.

Apparently @Gambler Bob didn't know he had been demoted.
