Parents Cheering for Their Kid
So I saw this while shooting video of a high school girls basketball game. You've all seen it. The hype-active, over-enthusiastic, I only cheer for my own kid parent. That selfish, turd-nugget parent who only cares about their own kid and somehow knows how to coach the team better than the actual coach. Seeing it again made me realize how pathetic these people are and made me realize I needed to write something about it.
First of all it's only a high school game, no need to go crazy and stand up and pound your chest when your kid scores a bucket (I actually witnessed the dad do this). Hey dumb ass, why are you pounding your chest, your kid scored...not you. Figure it out. Then when your kid loses her dribble and loses the ball no its not a foul. There was no ghost who fouled your kid and caused the ball to go out of bounds, she just doesn't have handles. How about instead of standing up like a moron you go all Charles Billingsley from Friday Night Lights and drunkenly duct tape the ball to your kids hands when they get home.
The next worst part is this parent questioning everything the coach of the team does. Listen just sit down and shut up there's a reason that the other person is the coach and not you...and why would you think that you know what defense or play should be ran? Do you coach the kids? Do you know all of their strengths and weaknesses like the coach does? No. So just sit down and shut the hell up. Listen I know all parents want their kid to succeed but does that mean you root for only your kid to do well and not your kids actual team.
Honestly if you have nothing better to do but get enraged over a high school game you live a shallow incomplete life and I hope God has mercy on your soul. Couple that with the fact that you will only root for your own kid and try to live vicariously through him or her and you must have absolutely nothing going for you.
Root for your kid, but don't make your kid hate you.
