We have spent the last 3 Saturday & Sundays at the soccer fields.
The teams is doing so so. The focus of this post is not the teams performance but a movement I'm seeing, it's a quiet underground kind of movement, one that involves the "Soccer Moms". I believe the "Soccer Moms" have formed their own association the G.S.M.A.
To be in the G.S.M.A. the are a few prerequisites
1) You must wear warm-up style pants and they must have a stripe down the side.
No matter what you weigh you must wear this style of pants. I saw one Soccer Mom walking off the field and from the rear it looked like two pigs fighting in a pillow case.
2) You must have one of those fold up style camp chairs.
Soccer Moms very rarely carry their own chair from the car to the field, that's what their kids are for.
3) You must have one of those magnetic soccer ball affixed to your vehicle. Said vehicle must be a van or SUV.
4) (optional) Soccer Moms must be on the side lines with a cup of coffee. This can not be a coffee mug from home, the side of the cup must have Starbucks, Caribou or QT imprinted on the side.
5) (optional but closer to a requirement) Tortoise shell sunglasses.
Looking down the side lines I feel like I am watching the Stepford Wives in action.
