Every football fan knows Parma. The now serie B team was a football giant back in the 90’s. Buffon, Crespo, Thuram, Chiesa, Cannavaro and many others passed by the “crociati” (the crusaders) .
But already in the 2000’s things started to worsened and Parma became an yo-yo club, and that was not the worse: not many after Parma finished 6th at the end of the 2013/14 Serie A would have thought that at the start of the 2015/16 season they would have seen the blue-yellow in Serie D, the 4th tier of the Italian football pyramid, in one of the most tragicomic way of the history of Italian football.
How did we get there?
As we said before, Parma was a football giant in the 90’s, who despite never winning Serie A won 2 UEFA cup, one Cup winners cup and one UEFA super cup. But the bankruptcy of Parmalat, the business owner of Parma, of 2004 would definitely end this era. European competitions were gone, and relegation came in 2008. The crusaders will come back in Serie A the year after and in 2013-14, the season that celebrated the centenary of the club, Parma finished 6th. Europe was back in Emilia, or at least that's what the fans thought, as financial problems meant UEFA blocked Parma from participating in the 2014-15 Europa League.
The annus horribilis

That was just the start. After the exclusion from european competition, Parma’s president Tommaso Ghirardi resigned from the role just to come back in september.
The transfer window was exactly the one you would expect from a club in financial problems. Loans, free transfers and most important players being sold. The results in Serie A were terrible: on the 10th matchday of the championship Parma was in the relegation zone, having just suffered a streak of 6 losses in a row, interrupted by a win against (of course) Inter. Next match they will lose 7-0 against future Champions League finalist, Juventus [I highly recommend watching this Tevez goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqMpOOaT8as)). That meant Parma was dead last, a position they will never leave
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.
Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
