So you’re fine with this? Just to clarify?

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No. Full stop. That was potentially deadly and scary and stupid and an unbelievable overreaction. I am fully against what they did. I can’t believe these dipshit parents couldn’t talk to the coach or that kid’s parents fucking mystifies me.

I’d want my kid playing with or against

The quickest way to get gud is be outclassed

Thanks for calling me out on that. That was beyond wrong of the parents, on multiple levels.

One thing I like about this place is so much of the community are willing to own their mistake. No dramas.
