15 ways youth sports are absolutely awesome and truly terrible, according to parents

And why are weekend games so early? And why is every kid on the field always and forever crowding the ball?! We’ll never discourage our kids (overtly, at least) from playing a sport, but sometimes kids’ sports are a bit of a drag — and the sports parents of Twitter agree!
From late-night dinners to terrible teams, here are 15 hilarious tweets about having a kid who plays sports.
1. Uh, what time is dinner?
