Fight with a disrespectful guy...?

Question

I play soccer every tuesday and thursday at this park and there is this very rude guy named eric. He disrespects me whenever I come inside and want to play. He keeps restating I'm not invited and where I came from (this is a pickup game btw and there is no need to ask so you can play). I came in a few days back to play and he told me that infront of all the people. So today I go in to play and he does it AGAIN! I've had it this time. I blew up. I yelled at him and told him to go s***w himself and that he has a big mouth and attitude problem. I'm wondering what you guys would do if you were in my place with such an obnoxious person trying to humiliate you infront of people you don't even know?

Answer 1

son this old man...would be in lock-up.

Answer 2

You didn't have to take his remarks the first time, but since you let it go this long, you did the right thing in telling him off.  If it is an open game, then if he is not the Captain/Leader, he should keep his mouth shut.  Just be careful the next time you go back, because he is really going to try it again.  You need to tell him in no certain terms that you don't like what he says and he needs to keep his mouth shut.  Just be careful you don't get in a fight with him.  He sounds like a big bully.

Answer 3

I think you did the right thing... But if it happens again don't waste your breathe just don't even acknowledge him so that he feels stupid and eventually he will get the point and leave you alone.
