What the fuck happened to kids sports?
So I've been saving this rant for a while now. What the fuck happened to kids sports? When I was a kid, you kept score, you know, like they do in every fucking sport.... There's a score, there's a winner, there's a loser, and the occasional brat crying his heart out because the kids on the other team kicked his ass. That's the way sports are supposed to be, you have a winner/winning team and a loser/losing team.
Some idiot however thought this was a bad system because it taught kids that they don't always win, and that would force their precious snowflakes to face the fact that we don't always win in life. Obviously this is wrong, you know, given that it's been working flawlessly since the beginning of time. I dare you to invent time travel and find some cavemen gathered around the kid that didn't catch/kill any food saying "ugg, ugg, ugggg, ugh!" which translates to "great job honey, I'm so proud that you won". You might find one saying "oog, ugg, ooooga, ugga, ugg!" which means "keep it up dumbass and we'll have you for dinner before the next moon." I guarantee that cavekid learned pretty damn quick that starving sucks. So did all of the other cavekids, and that led to reasoning, and invention of tools, and the fucking internet to order goddamn pizza's and shit.
Back to my point....I know you were wondering when that was going to happen.
Let the kids play fucking sports already. Keep score, don't give everyone a "participation trophy" given them a "participation kick in the ass" and give the winners a trophy. I take my kid to soccer games every weekend, and the dumbass parents say "you won!" and without skipping a beat the kids say, "no we lost 7-0". I'm waiting for one to just say "what fucking game were you watching?"
Also: I forgot to include this on my last post...
I bet that I could take dog shit, put it in a box, stick an apple logo on it, and call it an "iDOG"(note the improperly used lower-case I at the beginning) and some jackass would pay $500 for it.
