I have seen it several times, especially when my daughter was younger and played on the coed rec teams.
The parents where making a of very offensive remarks tomards the one female player that was standing toe to toe with the chapin boys. I can't remember all the exact quotes and she probably never heard any of them but I felt bad when parents act in this fashion. The sad part was that it was mostly women that where yelling the remarks.
I will add this point that the chapin boys played and treated her like a soccer player regardless of the sex. And my daughter has played againist a lot of the chapin boys in scrimmages and they show the upmost respect for the girls and treat them like any other soccer player. So I am delighted to know that the attitude from some of the parents doesn't rub off onto the chilren.
Of course none of this should be that much of a surprise to you. I have been critized before because of my views of equal opportunities for women players, I guess I just old fashion. I could go on and on about this subject.
Why is it that a woman that speaks her mind is opionated and a man that speaks his mind is plain spoken?
Why is it that they seem to have a pep rally for all the men's sports at the drop of the hat but never the women's sports?
Why is it that the girls are expected to go to the men's games but the boys have to much to do to go to a women's game?
Why is it the women have their soccer championship on a weekday during the day and the men get Saturday?
I would give you answers to these questions but then I would be accused of stirring things up and there is to many young people reading this board.
