Let me ask your opinions:
My son is a running back for pop warner football, first year tackle. Over the weekend his team had a game, and had a 3 touchdown lead by half time. My son plays corner on defense for the first half and switches to offense for the second half. Well, by the end of the 3rd quarter he still hadn't been switched over to offense, despite asking. We had such a lead they told him to just stand there on defense and let other team run by. Well, he was very upset that he was the ONLY boy not put on offense, so i crossed the sacred "line" (aka the white lines behind the bench) and asked his head coach what was going on with his lack of play (WITH an attitude, of course) and got screamed at and told it was an oversight and I needed to back up. Needless to say, an assistant coach got in my face and I simply walked away.
After the game ended and they shook hands, I called my son over and left, without letting him join in the end of game huddle. Anyway, complaints were filed, I got an apology for the "oversight" of my son being forgot about. However, I got ganged up on my parents tonight saying how immature I was and how it showed no sportsmanship and how I deeply upset them and their children for how I acted. I was told I owe them an apology. I said yea right I stood up for my son. I wasn't going to wait until after the game to ask why he was never put in, Im not that kind of mom. Apparently I should have kept my mouth shut and mentioned it after the game, instead of correcting the issue right there. And how dare I not let him sit in the huddle after the game, after the assistant coach screamed at me for questioning the head coach.
So I am asking for the opinion of you men, fathers, possible coaches.
