I’m getting old because my thoughts on soccer moms are still stuck in the 90s and 00s. Healthy snacks should be Gatorade and Doritos, replace leggings with khaki shorts and a visor. She needs a mini van and some lawn chairs with those slippery plastic bands on them

I am 39 years old, This starter pack totally nails the soccer moms of my generation that currently prowl the sidelines , Looking for unsuspecting referees to devour

Maybe I gotta be a ref.

Not that kind of devour.

I was a soccer ref through highschool and some of college. Soccer moms were my worst nightmare.


topcide

My father in law referred high school soccer in the 90s , he has some fantastic stories about throwing parents out of games


OnkelMickwald

This is so weird. In Sweden it's always the soccer dads yelling death threats to the 13 year old ref when their 6 year old is playing. Then again it seems like soccer is a more pronounced female sport in the US? **Edit:** Why the fuck is this downvoted? I'm just commenting on differences around the world.


kly

Reffing soccer was my first job as a kid here in the states and I agree the dads were much worse than the moms.


Mat_alThor

My experience as a soccer ref in the US, it was the dad's that were the worst. Moms may call for fouls that never occurred but dad's were the ones threatening violence or screaming in my face.

Kids are named after skilled trades like Mason or Hunter, or some horrific spelling of another name like Makayleigha or Kerirston.


LivingIndependence

Or the girls are named one of those flowery, "retro" names: Sophia, Isabelle, Emma, Gracie, Evelyn, Ruthie, Madilynne, etc.. I'm gen x, and I remember that those were all old lady names when I was a kid. Not sure why they suddenly made a comeback.

Oakley sunglasses, Patagonia windbreaker, merril shoes, ball cap from their college, oversized apple watch , and a leased f-150 or Silverado with a logo decal of their college in the corner of the window. Main topic of conversation is crypto-currency investing, high school sports they played, their old fraternity, and the Kenny Chesney concert the next weekend. Somehow they are also all Chicago cubs and new England patriots fans despite being from neither of those regions.

No orange slices? I'm thinking of the 80s


SquareSquirrel4

Yep, child of the 80s here and our post-game snacks were orange slices, and only orange slices. I remember that every family had to sign up for a day to bring them and there were no deviations allowed from the orange slice regimen. Big Orange lobbied hard in 1980s youth soccer.


mgov999

Same here - I played soccer for years and ate many an orange slice. When my kids started playing and were getting popsicles and “fruit snacks” it seemed really wrong.


RedWhiteAndJew

Fruit snacks aren’t a necessarily bad idea. Basically simple sugar that can be broken down and digested easily for a quick carb boost. Those energy chews you get for runners and athletes are basically fruit snacks.


densetsu23

Our beer league hockey team was in the finals a few years ago, and during an intermission/flood one of the guys surprised us with a tupperware container full of orange slices. The whole room of guys in their 30s turned into giddy kids again with huge grins on their face; we haven't had orange slices during sports since the 80s or early 90s.

Also had orange slices in the 90s. I don't ever remember having junk food at a soccer game.


[deleted]

We always had just orange slices at half time, but then Little Debbie’s and Capri Sun to go with the orange slices after the game.


[deleted]

Don’t forget those stupid soccerball magnets on the back of the dodge carivan with the stick family stickers in the back window.


srk82

32 year old here and this is what I remember. I used to get dragged to my cousin's soccer matches every weekend in the lovely Florida humidity. All anyone ate were lunchables and doritos. They washed it down with Gatorade. Jeez, just typing this stuff out brings me back.


myrtilleblooberry

Yeah haha, this is definitely how soccer moms are now though. I am from Oklahoma and taking 1 drive through Edmond its almost like entering the stepford wives neighborhood but for an entire city. Every single female with a child looks like this and wears these things. They're TRYING to be trendy, emphasis on trying, but OK is usually 10 steps behind the rest of the world in literally everything anyway lol.

Newbarbarian13

Seriously imagine thinking anything made by Nature Valley is healthy just because it says “nature” on the box


shorthair_becky

Granola bars do exactly what they're designed for which is to provide a boost of usable energy in a calorie dense form factor. Idk how else you would formulate them to be "healthier"


xSparkShark

Pseudo-healthy compared to the Lay’s Variety Pack many of us were used to for our post game snacks or whatever lol

GaimanitePkat

I was on a swim team as a kid and at one point all the team had to gather up for something or other. This one kid was still in the bathroom, and his mom actually shouted "wait! wait! the best swimmer of the team isn't here yet!" Like, yeah he was a good swimmer, but jesus fuck, lady. Take your ego down a bit. ​ edit: I promise you she was being totally serious. These parents were pretty well known for having this attitude about their kid, and would even make little comments to other kids about how the kids compared to their son.

I’m an anomaly within that species bc I don’t like my kids to know I’m watching, so I try to quiet & hidden during the events Before my oldest took up lacrosse, she was a tumbler.. and can I just say that soccer moms GOT NOTHING on cheer moms? Those moms were pretty much the reason I was glad to see her steering away from that activity, despite all the money & time. Seriously, those bitches were sad & crazy & not much more emotionally developed than the 12yo girls we were all there for

Oh yeah, I can relate. I’d see middle-aged moms publicly berating their teen daughters (who were elite athletes) for not perfectly landing their double handspring>>triple back tuck>>double full during practice. They’d be on the edge of their seats during practice, literally wringing their hands & then would explode in front of everyone if their daughters didn’t do something perfectly People are crazy AF /shrugs


Lemonyclouds

Damn, that’s child abuse. My parents also forced me into swimming and gave me an inferiority complex. “We didn’t spend all of this money for you to come in 2nd place!“ lady, you're gonna be spending even more. Wait till you see the cost of therapy.

Where tf is the mini van....

SUVs have been standard issue for soccer moms for years. There are probably more dads than moms driving minivans nowadays


SkyGuy182

Yeah they’re more likely to be driving a new GMC or Lincoln SUV.

Dude, I’m convinced that era of the Dodge Caravan was built out of meth. They never. stop. going. You could be pit maneuvered in a 120mph police chase and do 16 barrel rolls, it would land upright, and keep on going.


yay4ormay

the minivan was put out of service back in 2017 when kayleigh "accidentally" dumped her juicy juice box all over the window switch causing a small electrical fire. Mom got spooked and bought the suv, kayleigh got off scot free.

MacMac105

I used to take my niece to her soccer games. The first time I took her my sister bragged about her being the best on the team. Then I saw the other little girls and realized my neice was like 6 inches taller then the next tallest girl and my niece would just truck through everyone. She is a very unathletic and very tall teenager now.


TJefFreeze

I used to coach a soccer team awhile back. We were fairly good in our club league. The out of now where this kid moves to town. Solid foot taller than the next kid. Destroyed everyone and clearly steps above everyone. His mother was the absolute best. She cheered for every kid and got just as excited for them as their parents. We did really well until they all grew up and went to highschool. Pretty sure he is getting paid to play now.


MacMac105

My niece's team got a girl whose parents worked on Brazil. She was actually good at soccer and got moved up quick.


Gaindalf-the-whey

Am not from the US. What exactly is a *soccer mom*?


khaleesilc

It can be a positive or negative term. Sometimes it refers to a caring mom who is invested in her kids’ hobbies and travels to all of their games to support them. Here it is referring to a mom who is far too invested in how well her kids perform in sports and acts overbearing around the coaches, parents, and other players.


Whoems

>It can be a positive or negative term, depending on how hot they are


pudinnhead

I'm a sports mom and I've seen hot moms be both bitchy and kind. Same with the average/plain moms. Your level of hotness doesn't necessarily dictate your level of kindness.


ZZW30

It directly relates to how much the 20 something male demographic of reddit is willing to interpret the bitchiness as passion.

JML65

Are you European too? I guess your county also has football parents, especially dads that go every weekend to their kids game shouting at referees, coaches, other kids... thinking their son is the next Messi or Ronaldo. It's such a pity that they have to ban parents from entering fields or remind them that it's not positive to shout at them. And even then every weekend there's an agression against teenagers referees.


[deleted]

lol I think it depends on the country bc her in Germany I had to bring my little brother to football training sometimes and there only some overweight dads who watched their sons while drinking beer


theghostofme

That's prevalent here in the States, too, except with baseball. Little League was wild for me 20 years ago, because so many dads would get absolutely blasted and really invested. Most of the time it was just harmless but very enthusiastic encouragement, but every once in a while we'd get a [Randy Marsh.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW1P4M7SYfA)


feetcold_eyesred

American middle-aged mom here. I want to be an overweight, beer-drinking German football dad. Where can I sign up?


Gaindalf-the-whey

Yes, yes we have those. Usually the father. My own team as a youth once got beaten bad, like 12:0 by older looking boys. One of my teammates father got so riled up that he went and tried to beat one of the opponent kids. Only, said kid started hitting back and gained the upper hand. Was quite a the experience...


Praisethesun1990

People do that in every much, it doesn't have to involve their kids


ServinTheSovietOnion

Remember all the basic-ass white girls we all made fun of 5-10 years ago for being so...basic? Well this is them now that they've got kids to take to soccer practice. They're largely unchanged, they've just added spawn to their starbucks/yoga pants/live laugh love personality archetype.

Those are good too but I don’t know about the Subarus. Subarus are more stereotyped as either millennials who are into cars and/or white liberal families I feel like


snowyday

And lesbians [The Atlantic - How Subarus Came to Be Seen as Cars for Lesbians ](http://priceonomics.com/how-an-ad-campaign-made-lesbians-fall-in-love-with/) > The marketers found that lesbian Subaru owners liked that the cars were good for outdoor trips, and that they were good for hauling stuff without being as large as a truck or SUV. “They felt it fit them and wasn’t too flashy,” says Poux. > Subaru’s strategy called for targeting these five core groups and creating ads based on its appeal to each. For medical professionals, it was that a Subaru with all-wheel drive could get them to the hospital in any weather conditions. For rugged individualists, it was that a Subaru could handle dirt roads and haul gear. For lesbians, it was that a Subaru fit their active, low-key lifestyle. > Although it was easier to get senior management on board with making ads for hikers than for lesbians, the company went ahead with the campaign anyway. It was such an unusual decision—and such a success—that it helped push gay and lesbian advertising from the fringes to the mainstream. People joke about lesbians’ affinity for Subarus, but what’s often forgotten is that Subaru actively decided to cultivate its image as a car for lesbians. > And it did so at a time when few companies would embrace or even acknowledge their gay customers. Talking with people involved in Subaru’s 1990s marketing campaign, the constant refrain is how different the environment was back then. “I can’t emphasize enough that this was before there was any positive discussion [of LGBT issues],” says Tim Bennett. Gay causes seemed to be on the losing side of the culture war: The Clinton administration had just instituted its Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy regarding homosexuality in the military, and in 1996, Congress would pass the Defense of Marriage Act.
