Sports (in high school in particular) do teach valuable life lessons to kids (such as even when you do your best, you can still lose). Sports also keeps our kids moving and active, and less prone to obesity.<br /><br />She's teaching those girls that women are strong, and they don't have to take shit from anyone. And now not one of those girls on her team (either now or in the future) will ever have a good excuse for missing a practice or a game. <br /><br />Just like some people are wired to believe in God and some aren't, some people are wired to work/play in groups, unlike you ;)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382705846931966715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-84616230161551111262011-03-08T06:36:19.584-06:002011-03-08T06:36:19.584-06:00Joe - No, actually, I was always picked first.

Life is too short to allow yourself to voluntarily stay after school every day and go to school on weekends so that you can be verbally and physically abused by Neanderthal assholes.Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-49201280652506366932011-03-08T04:21:01.783-06:002011-03-08T04:21:01.783-06:00X, I just have to ask.

I guess I'm one of those mouth breathers who likes sports. Paying for the Sprint Center and Arrowhead complex is another story, however, and I don't want to be accused of blog drift.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955078574626461009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-33431199009645585502011-03-07T20:13:55.366-06:002011-03-07T20:13:55.366-06:00I think (know) it was the sports thing that burned...I think (know) it was the sports thing that burned my balls.<br /><br />It would have been different if she had left her newborn child behind to attend her daughter's graduation, or to cast a crucial vote for a piece of legislation that helped people in need, or to join her local volunteer fire department in putting out a fire at a nursing home or an animal shelter.<br /><br />But to coach a fucking basketball game?<br /><br />I just can't think of any lower priority on the entire planet or in anyone's life.<br /><br />It's a fucking game.

I was a bit slower than normal, but I was fine. <br /><br />Women have been giving birth for millenia. We are not that far removed from having the baby in the field while working. <br /><br />Given how women are expected to not only take care of the house and kids, but be a provider as well, I'm almost surprised this type of behavior isn't expected from all women.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382705846931966715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-89703962300977528082011-03-07T11:07:26.059-06:002011-03-07T11:07:26.059-06:00WIN!

Presuming that I am in a better position to choose what is best for a mother and a child than the mother of the child goes against everything I believe in. It was late. I was cranky.

I would guess that it's not her first child and she had say 'the father' there to help out.<br /><br />I wasn't there, I'm not her physician or family, so I'm trusting that she made the right call. Anything else is paternalistic and patronizing IMO.Keith Saderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145968553823653526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-33801712470732735482011-03-06T12:08:35.791-06:002011-03-06T12:08:35.791-06:00Parents moving to Texas have to ink an agreement c...Parents moving to Texas have to ink an agreement committing their firstborn to whatever sport the school coach determines their offspring is best suited for. Secondary, tertiary and later heirs -being the lesser of the DNA/RNA milkshake- are also encouraged to participate in sports but must, at a minimum, be part of the school’s band, pep or cheerleader squad.<br /><br />And, no offense, but your comparison of organized athletics to the Roman games is tired; the <b>UFC</b> would be far more apt. Indeed, one might legitimately use <b><i>Spartacus: Blood and Sand</i></b>, as it involves far more sex, violence and gore pr0n. <br /><br />The culture is waaaaaaaaaay past doomed, though sports have nothing to do with it – they’re just symptoms. Whether the infectious meme circulating in the “brain” of Jebus Mom is another symptom of society’s dysfunction or a direct causal agent is up for debate.<br /><br />I will grant you, however, her insanity.Nickhttp://willnotbetelevised.com/tv/noreply@blogger.com
