So exactly what did I say that was a mistake or an assumption nor? You attempt to tither every horror story to a liberal social agenda. That is one giant logical fallacy after another. It's like me hating all conservatives because some shoot doctors or some join the KKK, it's just silly. Honest, take the time to think things through logically. I am not trying to convince you that your preference of conservative policies is "wrong." I am saying that you should not be a mindless parrot of wing nut rhetoric or left loon mantras. It is so funny. I still get pounded here in the real world because I recognize Trumps talent. Or because I accept that it's fair for the country to turn right based on the election. Yet here I am accused of being a left wing nut. This country has no refuge for someone TRULY in the middle, open to all dogma. Just yap yap yap. Chicago, liberal, I hate them. Mindless.

We have become nothing but a bunch of pussies. 2 hours ago, thc6795 said: What did I post that was a mistake or an assumption. It is not a new phenomenon that people are critical of scores such as 100-10. Sportsmanship has been around for quite some time, and I'd argue that those of us who are a bit longer in the tooth (and previous generations) were taught to have some respect for our opponents, just as people are taught now. We are now not pussies because we question running up the score as we always have. But like discussions involving politics and religion that used to be taboo because they generally change no opinions while creating hostility, the people who feel 100-10 scores are OK are now more vocal, so those who disagree are letting their ideas be heard too. People are similar to how we've been in the recent past, just more willing to express the "fuck it, I'm going to say what's on my mind" philosophy without thinking things through as comprehensively as we used to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This interview was in March) She admittantly denies it. I didn't post this to make a stand one way or the other, I posted to show that news will report as they want it to be. A little girl was leaning into a lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, all under the eyes of her screaming parents A biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, "Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life." The Harley rider replies, "Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right." The reporter says, "Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?" The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I voted for Trump". The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: ** U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH. ** And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.

It was better when they stayed silent. In my humble and honest opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 50+ I am of the belief and always have been if you don't want me to score stop me. My job as a coach is not to make your team feel good about themselves. Now I would pull starters after a while. But if my back ups are wanting to score I would never not allow them to. Such as life. Life does not give you a break. War does not give you a break. Kids need to learn this at an early age. There are no participation trophies given in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, some people have always thought running up the score was OK. But most have agreed sports are not the same as war, and understanding sportsmanship takes precedence. As a coach, did you have your team shake hands and express "good game" to your opponents after a contest, or did you treat the other team as a corpse after killing an enemy?

We shook hands regardless if we won or lost. Playing sports is not just about teaching sportsmanship. There is a lot more to it. Sports is about teaching life lessons. Kids need to learn at an early age life is not fair. That life does not hand out participation trophies. Otherwise you have collage kids asking not to go to class or asking campuses to provide them a safe place because something didn't go there way. Oh wait....

To include complaints about running up the score as an example we are more pussies than we have been in the past is an incorrect assumption, from my point of view.
