Are people really that stupid in the usa?
They voted for trump didn't they ? Twice. There's your answer.
Three times
True. Only successful twice, but stupid three times.
At this point one might conclude they're stupid all the time.
also very racist in varying degrees.
A lot of white people are.
The Karens will always do Karen shit.
The police could have used common sense but elected not to.
You expect police to not needlessly use their power? This is a country were SWATing is so easy there is a term for it and so common that it doesn't get investigated.
At best, they're half as stupid and twice as hateful
The article makes it (slightly) less bad. 3 year old was kicked out of a 5 year old league for being too good and ruining competitive balance. The kid's parents took it badly and would not leave until police intervened.
Most team sports don't ban star players
Although i have seen a show called Ted Lasso where the coach put him on the bench for hogging the ball.
The article says multiple substitutions. Wonder what the coach's role was in the whole thing.
Most youth leagues dont do substitutions like pros do, they swap out every quarter or so. The goal is to have the kids play about equally, or else parents lose their shit that their kid sat on the bench the whole game.
It’s a toddler fun league. The league has specific rules about it not being competitive and sharing play time.
The kids parents are wannabe influencers filming everything for TikTok.
Nobody called the cops on a kid for being too good. They called the cops on the parents because they were asked to leave over their stupid social media stunts, and then they refused.
