Loved the way he blocked, the way he snapped, the way he played, but because he wasn't from their club, he'd never be up to snuff. Some other players didn't catch as much crap due to other sports (baseball, basketball) or family ties. My son had enough. Almost all of the kids that messed with him are going to a different high school next year, and he's said he'll go back out for football then.

As a parent, that kind shit is tough to stand by quietly and watch. I went through it in youth soccer with my kids. So many times I wanted to **** some opposing coach/parent up for their antics. And sometimes opposing players too.
But, I learned that revenge (as it is) comes in different way. My kid has a successful career and life. He's traveled the country and likes his career.
Several of the kids who played against him in youth futbol and as teammates in HS, are stuck in the same city. Dead end job. Dead end life.
**** em.
Good luck to you and them BC.
