You kids are soft. Back in my day they didn't even hand out medals or trophies. If you won you were sent to the Gulag for 6 months. They always came out stronger than when they went in.

The weak ones didn't make it out. In reality they were doing humanity a favour.

That's pathetic. A margin threshold should be closer to 150+, and really all a coach needs to do in that situation is rotate his players to create more opportunities for them.

My kid ran second in the 70m race for his age at his school and won himself a participation pencil instead of a ribbon.

Hang on a second the real outrage here is a 70m race. Are kids too fat these days to run even a 100m.

 

[William Wonka]

2nd is still a silver medal. If you place in a race you should get something.

So you should.
A sense of failure and a burning desire to win next time.

It's pathetic. Back in my day sprints were 2 nautical miles. That's right we sprant in the ocean.

I used to wear Christopher Hitchens quotes or Richard Dawkins t-shirts to Catholic schools when my boy played basketball.
I was the coach.

Lefties infiltrating the education system forcing their social engineering on society at an early age.

Nothing to do with lefties, more over-protective parents

Good thread title. Would read again.

I once knew a left-handed right winger. He was all over the place.

 

[chelseacarlton]

[Bennett.]

Oh please!

Terrible game and we deserved to be slaughtered!
I'll still take the 4 points though...

Second in a 70 metre race and wins a pencil

Weirdest story ever

Ah the young people of today...

Weirdest story ever

Same school banned Pokemon cards because some kids couldn't afford them. They were getting upset that they couldn't play with the other kids who had cards.

So because a couple of kids who didn't have cards got upset, they upset about 100 kids when they told them they couldn't play with them. Weird logic. principal.

A set of cards are $2. I offered to buy $20 worth to hand out and the teacher said no.

 

[HairyO]

League and union are terrible, soccer is ok. Stop hating on the kids, they are our future!!

Yeah. AUSKICK is atrocious in NSW. I have no doubt it sends skills backwards.

If my son was at all interested in sports he would play soccer until 10 or 11 then swap to Aussie Rules.

That's pretty much my hopes for my son. He loves playing soccer, but he spends all his time around the house hand passing and kicking a sherrin. When we go to the park we only ever kick the sherrin.

Thing is, I think deep down my son is a bit daunted by the range of skills needed for afl. Soccer is good, because basically you need good footskills.

I reckon in the next year or two he will make an attempt at the transition to afl. It also sucks that they (junior soccer and afl) play at the same time. He easily has enough energy to play both!

On a side note, you may recall my reportage of his emotional reaction to last week's hiccup against your Dingleys. This week against the pussycats he was all smiles in the first quarter, but when the scoring dried up and Geelong closed the gap late in the second, he had another milt and stormed off to his room until we kicked another goal. He's worse than me!

Well at least that last bit is something to be proud of !

Your kids play soccer. There lies your problem.

And you live in Sydney

Our school banned them too way back when, but that was because kids were getting bashed over charizards
