Amen, but it is transferred right down to their kids.Once again, the parents are the problem.
From the parents.Amen, but it is transferred right down to their kids.
The parents are the *source* of the problem. The actual problem, however, is the athletic department caving to the demands of a whiny brat. Once again, an attempt to please a small but vocal segment ends up making things worse for everyone else. The school should've told the mom to go pound sand.Once again, the parents are the problem.
So now everyone gets to date a cheerleader.How about this for overly sensitive folks?

They can't tell her that because they don't want to get sued. They'd probably win, but you never know with judges who like to hand out political statements from the bench. Many of the problems in this country stem from the sue culture we live in today. No group or entity can do anything without fear of being sued.The parents are the *source* of the problem.

Stuff like this has already been tried in court. HS Athletics are a privilege not a right .They can't tell her that because they don't want to get sued.

Right. I'd venture a guess that most of these issues come about over concern for bad PR, not being sued. Either way it's ridiculous.Stuff like this has already been tried in court. HS Athletics are a privilege not a right .

Poast of the decade right here ∆I have often said coaching youth sports would be one of the best experiences I’d had in my life, if there would’ve been no parents involved.
So snowflake didn’t make the cheerleading team. Mom gets ticked and complains. That is bad enough, unless there was a clear bias she could prove. School made it worse by just letting everyone make it.
Here’s the thing. Yes, there are biases when it comes to these things. When I was in HS, there was a pretty even racial divide and the cheerleading coach decided every year she would keep 6 Black girls and 6 white girls. Didn’t matter who was better than whom, it was split by race. Everyone knew it. Plenty of people hated it, but it was what it was.
Sports teams are no different. When my youngest tried out for his middle school baseball team in 7th grade he made it. Coach was a prick and everyone knew he was biased with how he coached. One of my kids good friends got cut. He was the son of a school board member. The next year, my son got cut and this other kid made it. Think there weren’t shenanigans going on? We didn’t complain. He worked hard and made the HS team as a freshman and so did his buddy.
Life is not easy, but parents today are ridiculous with trying to “clean up” or pick up when their kids fail. Let them fail and learn from it. Hell, the best lessons in life are from our failures. When it stings, it can motivate us even more or push in another direction to be great at something else. Either way, having mommy and daddy go raise hell ain’t gonna teach you anything except that they will do it the rest of your life no matter how much or how often you screw up.
