My daughter's soccer team plays another team that has developed into a quasi-rival over the past 2 seasons. Both teams are good, competitive teams and the games are often very, very close. The coach for the other team, however, is a bit of a jerk. Hey, it happens.
So, the two teams recently met up. During the first half (when it was still scoreless), the coach got upset about the officiating and started barking at the ref. Said official decided he wasn't getting paid enough to listen him and immediately told him to shut his piehole (I'm paraphrasing). The coach didn't and kept barking.
"Go sit down." (the coach had a little sideline chair set up).
"I don't want to sit down."
"Go sit down. I'm not going to listen to you."
"I DON't WANT to sit down." (His tone is sounding more and more like a petulant child)
"If you don't sit down, you're going to spend the rest of the game in the parking lot."
"I DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN!!" (And then he stomps off to his chair and throws his ass in it ceremoniously.)
The coach spent the rest of the game with his ass parked and it greatly improved the sideline character.
The sad thing is that his team played hard, but the focus wasn't on them - it was on their coach and his antics. Too sad...
