As ridiculous as the father is, isn't it also kind of ridiculous to be making a life-long evaluation of someone's athletic ability as trash when they're only 6?
Its a chicken and egg scenario.
The kid who has trouble developing the basic skills when they are 6 gets picked less, gets less field time, gets less positive reinforcement... by the time they are 13 the kid that DID grasp catching the snap and throwing first has been doing it for 7 years. Even if the first kid hits a growth spurt and everything about his body "clicks" and all of a sudden he could be the next Brady he now has to get 7 years of experience competing with "fast hands" McGee who is the starting QB at their school.
