Chapindad --
I know I'm coming in a bit late to this thread, but I was taken aback yesterday reading the following from your post above:
"I only wished the chapin parents hadn't been so abusive towards her just because she was a girl."
I don't know that I've ever been at a game where parents were abusive to a player because of their sex, and I've seen soccer in every conceivable corner of SC. Wow. Why would this happen?
