Feeling Happy
It is just a Game!
(Times like this you wish for Jammies, no one plans a fire!)
I am composing on line, something I seldom do. I have lost too many entries this way.
What do you do when you lose? Last night we went to our grandson's ball game. they won big time, something like 11 to 1. BUT TODAY they lost 8 to 4.
We have wonderful son, whose son was playing. He get's upset if he feels his son is not treated 'right'. Matt (the grand son) is a very good ball player. He is a dedicated kid. He is an above average ball player. Son feel like telling the coaches how to coach. Son has been a coach, and a good one. Therefore he feels his comments would have merit. Problem is, Coaches DO NOT LIKE TO BE TOLD HOW TO COACH, especially by parents. I would hope my son would know that, but I do not think he does.
Hey none of us like to lose! But the facts are in a sporting event there is a winner and a loser. You hve to know how to be both, because you are going to be both.
Life is the same way. Kids who have had the same advantages turn out differently. Some really win in life others do not. If you get carried away, and see your kid as the next Johnny Bench or Babe Ruth, YOU AND THE KID HAD BETTER get ready for a sudden wake up come draft time, because the odds are astromomical. I personally think the salaries of athletes is close to UNGODLY. It is a game for heavens sakes.
I love this country, I feel like it is the greatest country that has ever been. When an athlete gets paid more than:
A Brain Surgeon.
Our President
A rocket scientist.
A Combat soldier
A policeman or a Fireman
Hey in my opinion, something is wrong!
Hey I love some sports. When I was kid I pulled for the Dodgers, I loved Jackie Robinson (I thought we were kin since both our names were Jackie).
But to pay a person who cannot speak English half way properly Millions of Dollars is ludicrious. We build the winners up so high they think they are above the law and not responsible. IT IS A GAME FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! JUST A GAME. NO ONE DIES IF THEY LOSE. NO ONE GETS CANNONIZED IF THEY WIN.
I am through. Thanks for coming this way.

PS:
One night in Washington DC a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs. "Give me your money!" he demanded.
Indignant, the affluent man replied, "You can't do this -- I'm a US Senator!"
The robber replied, "In that case, give me MY money."
Live longer advice!

I agree with you it's just a game. Between the coaches and the parents how in the world do kids enjoy playing. Believe me I know, one of my BIL's is a coach and it's not a good thing. Don't get me wrong, he's a really good person but when it comes to sports he is somebody else totally different. Why I don't know. Let the kids play and have fun. Ya win some, ya lose some.
