Few things in life can be more gratifying to parent(s) than watching their loved one(s) from the sidelines as they participate in athletic competition. No matter on what level, through competing in some type of sport, lessons are taught and learned from a different perspective. A perspective that for the most part can’t be taught by any parent…Athletics enables a person to learn more about themselves no matter how young one is. Although in Philadelphia, 6 and 7-year olds seem to be learning about how delirious parents can be.
With anything involving ones loved one(s), parent participate is the key…Showing support & interest is critical in the positive development of a child. Somehow though I don’t think waving a gun around in protest over your son not getting enough playing time constitutes as one of them. I mean, I don’t know…I not a child or family psychologist, but that’s just a guess? I fully understand how frustrating it tends to be as Wayne Derkotch sat on his ass and the best move his son made on the afternoon was pick a winner from his nose. Tired of listening to his son bitch and complain week after week about how he doesn’t play. Hey Wayne, did you ever think your kid isn’t cut out for football? Although he can pick one hell of a booger out on the sidelines!
You got to love parents when it comes to athletics…Why is it they seem to take it more serious than the kids do? What, does Vegas put these games on the board? Was there some kind of “Tackle Spread” for Mr. Derkotch’s kid I didn’t hear about? If there is I’m taking the “UNDER” on that the rest of the season! What, is there a Vince Lombari Trophy at stake here?. I always thought at this level the best award one little snot nose could receive was a “Certificate of Participation for Pee-Wee Football? Let me guess there was a University of Miami scout in the stands to check out your son and you wanted him to feel right at home, right? Although, if you truly wanted to do that, it would’ve been a good idea to fire some shots. See, anybody can hide behind a gun as they wave it, but in Miami they take the child’s safety lock off. Though, seeing as how you were around children, you probably made the right call by not removing the safety lock. No wonder why no shots were fired...I might’ve over looked that? Or was it really even loaded to begin with? Good looking out, Wayne!
I’m just curious as to what kind of message you wanted to send to your son by pulling a gun on his coach…Or you weren’t too concerned about that, were you? I’ll just say, the only time that this may be acceptable is when Bill Romanoski is coaching your son…And I don’t think that that was the case here! Let me guess, the coach started it, right, by not playing your son? Where have I heard this excuse before? Although in this case Derkotch was charged with aggravated assault and other offenses. Perhaps things would’ve been different if this happened in the Orange Bowl instead of Philadelphia. To think we all thought Terrell Owens was the most hated person in the “City of Brotherly Love”. All he got were standing ovations of boos, expletives, pill bottles, and whatever else thrown at him. Whoever this coach is, certainly must have had it coming to him then! I feel sorry for Bill Parcells then…Watching Drew Bledsoe wander around on the sidelines in the second half last night, it looked like he had a lot of thoughts going through his head. Hmmmm? All I have to say is…Be Afraid Bill, Be Very Afraid!
Isn’t about time we employ the NFL & NCAA safety regulations to these 6-and 7-year olds games? Upon entrance to the park, your vehicle must be searched for explosives. Patrons must walk through metal detectors…Fanny packs, (or Men’s Purses…Which ever name one prefers) must be rummaged through like airport security. Prohibit patrons from bring his & her own lawnchair, (you don’t like the nice comfortable benches that gives you a flat ass…Don’t come). Absolutely outlaw bringing personal drinks in unlabeled cups into the game…Parents love to get CRUNK UP! I’m probably overlooking some key important stuff here, but that’s where you come in. Do your part in helping to come up with remedies to make 6-and 7-year olds football games safe!
Wayne Derkotch, you set a hell of an example…You must be so proud of yourself! Because of you, not only does your son have to figure out why he’s not playing, but now he has to figure out why pops tried to shoot up the coach and landed in jail. Some lesson you taught there!
