Tuesday's (John Bogert) Column: AYSO Angst
Daily Breeze columnist John Bogert would concede he's no soccer expert, but he knows a jerk when he sees one.
Bogie outs one of those annoying overly-involved parents living vicariously through their soccer-playing kids in his column that ran today. Specimens like that are one of the reasons AYSO sometimes has difficulty finding refs, coaches and other volunteers.
If you prefer, you can download the column as a podcast here.
About 100 Percent Soccer
Sportswriter Nick Green has written the 100 Percent Soccer column since 2005 for the Daily News, Daily Breeze and other Los Angeles area newspapers. The blog of the same name began in 2007. A native of England, he began writing about soccer in the mid-1980s and in 2000 permanently exchanged a seat in the stands for one in the press box. He lives six miles from Carson's Home Depot Center, home of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Chivas USA and the training headquarters for U.S. Soccer and is married to a long-suffering soccer widow.
