Soccer Mom Attacks Coach with a Folding Chair

You know what the worst thing about youth soccer coaches? It isn’t their overbearing personalities or when they refuse to play your kid or when they yell at the referee. No, the worst thing about youth soccer coaches is their inability to give proper directions to a game.

From Newsday:

A Long Island soccer mom is being charged with hitting her daughter’s coach with a folding chair, because he gave her bad directions to a game. Nassau County Police say 33-year-old Alicia Vigil of East Rockaway was arrested at 11:10 p.m. Monday at her home, and charged with reckless endangerment.

Detective Frederick Goldman says the woman’s daughter plays for the Lynbrook/East Rockaway Soccer Club. She was apparently upset about the directions the coach emailed her to the field at Sewanhaka High School – for a Sunday afternoon game.

Goldman says the two had words and the mom allegedly swung a folding chair hitting the coach in the face, cutting his lip and cheek. Police say the coach, who was not identified, refused medical attention.

I had a similar reaction the last time I used Mapquest. God it felt good smacking my computer with a lawnmower. And don’t even get me started about the time the 10-year-old down the street told me to turn left instead of right….
