e, I'd say about 10%, maybe even 5% are anal. The problem is in the random distribution of stupid parents sometimes a critical mass of three or four are on one team. Now when you consider how many stupid, retarded non thinking adults there are that suck in the lies and are snookered by democrats and talking heads, well you mix those who don't have a clue and can be lead with a self proclaimed expert or two and the children on the team get screwed.

The next problem in youth soccer is the attempts of those in charge who think they can set up rules so they don't have to make discretionary judgements and live in the collective mindset of what is right for everyone.

So e, to me your statement of "Most soccer parents and coaches are very anal about all aspects of the game" suggest poor observation skills.
