Am I the asshole

Depending on their level of retardation, it is my opinion that most of them shouldn't even be allowed in public. No one wants to see an ass burger melt down because someone looked at them, touched them or made a certain sound. Keep the retards at home.

It's so cute that you're willing to pretend that this is a team sport.

For the kids..

I would draw the line at the point where the developmental problem causes consistent and predictable problems for the coach or team.

Yeah, that's why you're complaining that this kid is slowing down your enjoyment of living vicariously through your kid. If your ambition for your kid nullifies feeling for the other kid, then why should anyone give a fuck about your kid or any other person's? This is how you all act, and always have.

No, it's on the parents. They know the child is a problem and they are well aware that they are making that child everyone else's problem.

But not at forcing a disabled kid to play first.

Yes. You are the asshole.

I hope your kid never suffers a brain injury and you then have to learn something called empathy.

Obviously you have never had any pain anguish or turmoil in your life.

Get ready. If you are ever to be a decent human being you are going to need both of your knees broken.

I just hope the damage is not too severe.

I have a friend who's son is autistic and has downs syndrome. Nasty combo. This kid is super aggressive and super strong. Cannot be left alone.

I coached youth soccer and I can honestly say, MOST coaches and parents are so full of themselves over this kiddie sport it is embarrassing to watch. I had to stop coaching even though they begged me to continue. I had several first place teams but it was total luck in getting some great players each year. My kid was terrible and we still won. Do you have anything else good going besides coaching these kiddie sports? I know your type. You have very athletic kids and you immerse yourself in the sport and take it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. I'll bet you also wear your shorts too tight so just take some advice and loosen up a bit or you will blow an artery or a testicle yelling at those kids.

My own kids were very smart but we did all the league sports, Karate, music, just about everything we could do in the time the kids were young through H.S. You say your youngest shows signs of brilliance and he will go to the select league. Well WHOOP DEE DOO! It is really bottom of the barrel in importance and in 20 years, you will realize it. Focus on what can make them succeed in real life. That's what we did and my kids are grown adults and all either doctors, nurses, or professional engineers at PhD level. They don't give one rats ass about what they did in soccer or any of those other useless activities and they were actually top in the country in some of their extra curricular activities. But who cares, since the TEAM SPORTS are just that. The autist won't make it to select league and there you can scream like it matters and spit over every goal with all the great select players and hopefully, you can even get your favorite color jersey that says "Sam's Plumbing" on the back. LMAO But for the regular league, let all the kids play and do their best. That's your job as a volunteer, not to take your kid to the select league by choosing to push out the autists so your team can win 1st place and get that teeny trophy that goes in the trash in 10 years. Oh, and yes, you are being a dick and you already knew it.

Old GUYS like YOU should NEVER be ALLOWED to be PART of ANYTHING...

Any questions?

They should not participate

Found the slowpoke

You seem a tad bit lost. I commend you volunteering.

I’m not making a subjective argument. A kid like that is a drain on all of his teammates and the other team as well. The entire game is affected by a kid like this. It could be a lesson in life that we will all have to deal with sub par people in daily life. I just know if I had a developmentally challenged kid, I wouldn’t put them in team sports. I think most parents would agree.

Sports are important for a number of reasons that cannot be experienced anywhere else. It teaches kids hard work, team work, playing by rules, winning/losing with grace, etc.

There are so many autistic kids playing team sports. I’m not sure why it is this way. It wasn’t this way when I was a kid 20 years ago. They put these kids in special classes in school so that they may receive more attention from a more qualified teacher. They do this because the will DISRUPT THE ENTIRE CLASS AND IMPEDE THE OTHER KIDS FROM REACHING THEIR LEARNING GOALS.

See how it works? The separate them because they slow everyone down. Those of us who are normal shouldn’t have to drag those of us who aren’t. Darwinism says other wise. If you allow the wel east in the population to persist and reproduce, you keep driving down the average level of all metrics within that population,

Wow and I thought I was an asshole!

Can’t have an opinion on this as I don’t do the job of making these decisions but my sister was disabled and went to a disabled school in the eighties, now my son is in a small rural school with a tiny class of about ten kids, one disabled, who has tantrums, and when he does all of the kids and the teacher have to leave the room while me smashes it to pieces, until he’s done. He can virtually stop proceedings for half of the school day while his mother sits round the corner in her house (she drank and took lots of drugs while she was pregnant). What do you do..

Reminder that an overwhelming majority of pedophiles are those who seek ways to be around children and gain their trust, like OP.

Only a pedophile would choose to be around modern hellspawn.

Ergo...

That's like parents who want you to train a male swimmer to be included in the female swimmers school team. Oh wait, that already is happening.

Tell the parents that you understand why they want their child to be shown fun things to do outside the house or school, but aggressive team sports is probably not in the best interest of their autistic son. There are so many other activities kids can join that won't expose their child to a bunch of boys who are already trying to be very aggressive and competitive in the team setting, and where boys are already used to aggressive play, sometimes painful play (broken bones, split lips, hurt feelings, temporary humiliation) is all a part of the growing up process of boys and young men. This is not an environment that is likely to be helpful to their son.
