Soccer mom?

Postby Trippoli » Wed Jun 24, 2009 9:51 am

Aren't they those crazy strict women who drive their children to their sport game?

and spend most of their time trying to ban the food served in Cafeterias in schools? And ban cereal.
Seriously, they think we can get fat off school food, but they barely put anything on the tray. Those crazy bitches.

What is your thoughts? Sorry, extremely bored today.

I think they're mostly just middle to upper-middle class women who drive their kids to sports events. The rest, not so much.

You have problems with parents who care about their children? Weird.

I think "soccer mom" is basically a term used to bash women.

I say this as a woman whose kids play soccer, among other things. But I don't define myself through the activities of my kids, either.

I think your the crazy one, but yes, the soccer moms are a bit wrong in the head, they mostly drive their children to sports game but the rest can come from any parents. They just want their children to be healthy and succeed.

Wiki sayeth, "The phrase soccer mom generally refers to a middle-class woman who lives in the suburbs and has school age children.[2] She is sometimes portrayed in the media as busy or overburdened and driving a minivan.[2][3] She is also portrayed as putting the interests of her family, and most importantly her children, ahead of her own.[2]

The phrase soccer mom derives from the literal, specific description of a mother who transports and watches her children play soccer.[3] It was also used in names of organizations of mothers who raised money to support their children's soccer teams.[3] The first reference to the phrase soccer mom in the national media has been traced to 1982. In that year, Joseph Decosta, the husband of the treasurer of the "Soccer Moms booster club" of Ludlow, Massachusetts, stole $3,150 raised for the benefit of a local soccer league.[3][4]"

I went to the most reliable dictionary to define what this unheard of species of woman-only creatures are.

A usually white, middle-classed woman. She drives an SUV. Her kids are her "little angels" and are more important than anything or anyone else in the world and deserve to play game demos or do anything else more than everyone. She doesn't let her "little angels" watch TV with "naughty words" such as crap, pussywillow, and pants. Her kids aren't allowed to go on the internet because it's all about sex, raping little children, buying useless crap, and getting scammed. She strictly enforces the ESRB ratings systems; by that I mean makes up her own: EC = 10 and under, E = 11 and up, T and above = "Not in my house" (Movies: PG and under = Only movies you can see). Anything that doesn't say they're Christian is automatically Satanic; this includes 99.998% of music. Her children participate in as many after-school activities as possible and are usually at day camp during the summer.

Soccer moms are usually seen screaming at people, getting into car accidents, and breaking copies of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and refusing to pay for them.

Well, a working mom is a woman who is a mother and works for a living.

A single mom is a woman who is a mother and is not in a relationship.

Therefore, a soccer mom is a woman who is a mother and who plays soccer.

But for all this "soccer mom" talk, I've yet to see a signup sheet at my parks and rec department for the middle-aged women's league. My bet is, they don't really exist.

The female equivalent of my soccer club actually has quite a few mothers on their teams.

Just because your government department (if that is what it is and why they are the ones organising it and not some league or association is strange but off topic) does not mean it doesn't happen.
