A Sea Of Red

Little league sports today are so pansy.

I agree ... let the kid run!!!!!

Love his attitude though. "God always comes first, then grades."

Is anyone really surprised? This namby pamby crap that nobody should win because it might hurt somebody's feelings. Well, I don't care if somebody gets their feelings hurt, how about that? And if the fact that I don't care that somebody's feeling may be hurt, hurt's your feelings, well guess what? THAT DOESN'T EVEN HURT MY FEELINGS!!!!

You feel me?

It's just the emasculation of society.

Touches a nerve because when I played Roanoke City rec ball when I was very young they always lied to us and told us we'd have a playoffs, then they cancelled it every year. The problem with the country today is that nobody wants to win. We've taught a generation of losers. Ones who are content with blaming others for their problems, instead of going to the plate in life and taking care of things themselves.

It's sad. Truly sad.

Is it too early to offer?

even if no score is kept the kids know if they won or not.

At this little guys age I actually understand limiting his time with the ball, no need to run up a score. I really like his priorities. God, Grades and then TD's! Keep an eye on this fella!

Then get better coaching. If they can't do that, then oh well. Don't penalize a kid because he's a level above everyone else.

It's up to the defense to stop the kid.

It's up to the coach of the offense to make sure each kid is doing what they supposed to do. If not, sub them out.

Absolutely.

I'm not saying I was some fantastic little league coach. I'm saying I don't agree with asking any kid to do less than his best.
