Getting Benched for Smiling?

I couldn't believe my ears. The coach of the other team yelled at one of his players, "If you keep smiling, I'm putting you on the bench."

Wow. There's so many things I could say to branch off of this event. I could be sarcastic and talk about how winning in U9 recreational soccer is the most important thing. I could be self-praising and talk about the fact that one of our team's 3 points on "how we play" is "play with a smile". Tony DiCicco says, "If it isn't fun, it's not soccer." Our girls are 8 or 9 years old! Wow.
