Just so we are clear- If I were a coach and lost a player for any reason- soccer, wake boarding, pulling a hamstring running to the fridge to get a coke during a commercial while watching Saved by the Bell - it would piss me off. I see where you are coming from.

Who determines what is a 'major' sport? The athlete? Or you?

There's nothing idiotic about doing two things you enjoy. Sorry that you lost some games and blame the kid for it. Doesn't make multi sport athletes/soccer stupid.

Soccer is only boring to those ignorant on the sport, which in inherently a result of being closed minded. I can see where someone who never played or took 30 minutes to learn the basics would find it boring. These guys are very athletic and tdun to watch for those knowledgeable on the sport. In fact soccer helped my football and baseball skills by forcing the body to do something different that the other two sports allow, the use if tour hands. Eye-foot coordination greatly improved my hand-eye coordination in baseball. Same way the suggest a LH hitter take some BP from right side of plate and vice versa. The idea is to do something eye coordination wise that is out of your norm, to improve your regular hand-eye coordination.

Ahhhhhhh SNAP. Definitely big enough to call kids selfish for playing multiple sports that aren't 'major' enough them. Everyone knows that once HS starts, football should be more important than anything in a person's life.

America decides that. 10 people at a soccer function pretty much shows it's importance. Because that was about our average attendance for their games during soccer season

Just wanted to make sure I was correct in assuming that you actually believe it is up to others to decide what should be important in a person's life. And you do. Carry on.

He had November to July to play all the ******* soccer he wanted. You dont play another sport when you are involved in a major sport. It's stupid. You put your body at too much risk. This kid was was running the football 15 times per game on Friday nights and playing 60 plays on defense. He was getting hit and beat on- then going and playing soccer the next damn morning. And guess what? He got hurt because of it.

Sports shouldnt be about "play everything you can". Your body needs an offseason to rest and train. Shit, I loved shooting a basketball and was damn good at it- but there just wasnt time between playing football and baseball.

No. Sports should be about "play everything you enjoy because you're 18 and not in the NFL so you should do things in life that make you happy before you have to enter the real world". But then again, I never lost a 3A high school game because a kid was being a kid and doing something that makes him happy. You're just coming off as a cynical prick

Being ignorant on the sport does not necessarily mean they are close minded. It might just mean they took one look at it and decided they thought it was stupid so they chose to never like it. People do that with all sports.

People arent mad about that. At least I'm not. It had like 5 posts until he basically said this kid was selfish for playing soccer. That's what people are jumping on, not that he won't watch the World Cup.

I don't know about hating on the kid for playing soccer. I just don't care for soccer. I am cool with people wanting to watch it and enjoy it. Nothing wrong with that. I just don't dig it myself.

And I think most soccer fans feel the same. I do. If you don't like it that's great, but why try to piss people off that do. Which you aren't doing, and thank you for that.

But again, that's not why people are cursing coach34

This. It's pretty important to understand why the "pro soccer" crowd is talking shit here. It's not a "let's berate people that don't like soccer because we think we are better/smarter/more worldly/whatever", it's purely because he's being butthurt about a HS kid playing multiple sports and getting hurt playing a ***** sport.

I went to a 3A school and quit all sports other than basketball to focus on that sport in high school, mainly because I loved that sport the most. There were many other great athletes at my school (and schools in our league) who played multiple sports. Some even played soccer and football (oh the horror)!!! All this does is further prove Coach is the narcissist we all thought. The kid doesn't live for you, coach. It's his life. You, like every other high school coach in the country, should deal with injuries and personnel as they come. It just sounds to me like you didn't adjust well and need someone to blame it on. It's fine if you don't like soccer, but don't be a d-bag and have a lifetime full of hatred because a kid got hurt. But I'm sure you're convinced he hurt himself on purpose to prove a point, so I'm glad you're still mad 20 years later. **

either way, if this is your story, this makes the kid stupid, not soccer

I don't agree that the kid is stupid, but that's like blaming the gun for a shooting.

Nobody cares that he doesn't like soccer. You don't like soccer either, and who cares? It's just the over the top crap he's posting that everyone is responding to. Which, I guess, makes us all suckers, because that's exactly the response he is trying to elicit.

^^^^^ This is my thought exactly. My senior year in basketball, we lost our best post player to a torn ACL while he was still playing football. It was unfortunate for us, but our coach did a great job of hiding our weaknesses and playing to our strengths, and we won a division title because of his coaching.
