Sports Parenting once again run amok

"I was thinking of the Simpsons episode where Homer cuts everyone in the closing credits."

An all-time favorite.

Good practice, kids. Now it’s time for the easiest part of any coach's job. The cuts. Although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you. Wendell is cut. Rudy is cut. Janey, you're gone. Steven, I like your hustle
[Steven smiles]
Homer Simpson: . That's why it was so hard to cut you
[Steven's smile drops]
Homer Simpson: . Congratulations, the rest of you made the team!
[random sighs of relief]
Homer Simpson: Except you, you and you.

 

"Flaaaaaaaaan-ders! Flaaaaaaaaan-ders! Flaaaaaaaaan-ders!"

(that's the same episode, right?)

 

So I've got to start storing my boys' flag football seasons(4th and 2nd graders)?

Damn, I thought they were just getting exercise and enjoying playing the game, not doing the PSATs for varsity football.

 

Every single mistake or mess up those kids make now for the next four years will be rubbed into the face and grinded into them by coaches and teammates alike now. Thanks, Dad.

 

Now that the kids are in high school will dad start sending yearly highlight films out to college coaches?
