I've known quite a few dad's failing to live vicariously through their son or daughter's sports

not just sports though. choir and band are some other parent top offenders

Oh no, I’ve been hoping my 9yo would like the marching band when it’s time (he plays the trumpet already). I don’t want to deal with those parents. It’s one of many reasons we’ve stayed clear of sports for the most part.

It's not a game of little league baseball unless at least two parents get tossed from the field for disparaging a child. My only memories of playing sports as a child are being yelled at by my dad for not being good enough. And that was all I needed to get my fill of sports for a lifetime.
