True story, I ran into my friend at a tournament last summer. My son was playing on another field. In between games I went to say hello and watch his son play. He played for express. I asked him what his son’s jersey number was. He changed the subject. I answered his question, a couple minutes later, I asked again what’s his jersey number. He again immediately changed the subject. I realized at that moment my friend was embarrassed that his son doesn’t play. Then we just talked a few more minutes and I left that field. I just don’t get it. Why put yourself and your son through that.
