What's on your mind?

Oh, I completely agree...but I'm not going to substitute my judgment for another parent's with respect to what's right for their kid. I've got no problem criticizing their judgment, but depriving them of it?? That's going too far.
There is no charge for awesomeness
...or attractiveness.

The thing that I see MOST that really troubles me about sports at all levels now is that the concept of simple gamesmanship and sportsmanship is lost in this generation. I'm not blaming the kids, its the parents/coaches that aren't teaching it. It use to be about competing and giving your best and then we all go out afterward and yuk it up together over a soda or ice cream cone. Now its purely about winning and doing so at any cost, and even annihilating your opponent mercilessly, if you can. It find it very troubling.

It is not just in sports it's in everyday life. Not only do a lot of high school kids lack respect so do their parents. I have never met so many people that are rude, lack respect and are so ungrateful. The sad part is that it is getting worse as time goes on.

I think in 2014 I am going to start telling people exactly what I think... I am sick of rude, disrespectfu,l ungrateful people


On another note I wish you all a very Happy New Year and I hope the year coming fills you with much happiness
Peace
