political correct BS

so the town of Beachwood Ohio has decided to cancel the all-star little league baseball game because it will hurt the self esteem of some of the players, especially the younger players who didn't make this "elite" group of players.

i hate hearing shit like this. there were some years i didn't make the allstar game, some years i did. didn't hurt me none, and it didn't hurt my friends any. if anything it made me work harder next season.

 

I've never been the same ever since I was picked last to play baseball. It ruined my self worth.

 

i'm so going to whip a dodgeball at your head

 

I kicked ass at dodgeball. I was always picked first for that. I mean come on! No one can dodge balls like me.

 

I agree. I was never picked to go on anyone's team when we would pair off for a game. Here I would be standing, waiting for the end and the captain would say, 'okay, I guess we'll take Charlie.'

Fuckin' pricks! I'd like to mow them down with a thompson. lol

 

i always left the people i didn't know for last...

 

I never wanted to participate. Unless it was football, dodgeball, or basketball.

 

Seriously.

I want my son to grow up a man, not a mouse.

If he doesn't like the better kids beating him, he can either commit to getting better or finding something else he's better at.

Failure is a part of growing up too. And I'm a fucking sensitive man. And believe me, I want my kids to have self esteem.

But self esteem shouldn't take the place of realism. I'm 5'10 and 155. I'm not cut out for the NFL. It seems better to me this was obvious to me at 8 in instead of finding out at 19.

 

I don't know if you meant it the way that I took it, but that was hilarious.

 

exactly...i want my son to grow up to be a strong, confident man. if i have daughter, then a strong, confident lady.

its one game...if you didn't make it, go out and cheer for your buds that did make it..and if you want to make the team, then work harder next year.

 

You'll have a son that hates sports. He'll want to be a ballet dancer.

 

If that's the case, my son should want to be a fucking legendary ballet dancer.

 

and you know, that would be fine with me...however, he isn't gonna be some wimpy pushover

 

That's complete bullshit.

Soon they're gonna put special olympics kids into the NBA in order to also give them a chance...

Anyhow, I agree with the lads here. This only breeds pussies.

 

I'm teasing...but male ballet dancers are drool worthy.

Meh you can't really control if your child will be a push over or not.

 

oh, yes there is.

 

Trust me no you can't. I've had friends raised the way I was and they are complete doormats.

 

I disagree with that a lot.

Healthy aggression is more a learned social instinct than an inherited one.

If you're kid grows up feeling self confident and physically active, they'll stick up for themselves even if they are into dudes and like ballet.

 

You could totally control it...

Just inspire confidence in your kid... it's almost as simple as it sounds. A lot of parents are too obsessed with themselves or just completely clueless to realize that they have to do that though.
