It is little league season again, and I'm so dreading today's game. I've got to leave in like 5 minutes and I'm dreading the whole damn thing. It's like everyone goes to these games because they want to brawl and are looking for any opportunity to do so.
I thought children's sports was supposed to be fun while building character? The kids cry, the adults scream at their crying kids, then the adults scream at each other or the coach or the umpire. It is just all around ugly. Last week I saw a kid hit an amazing home run with bases loaded and another parent turned to me and shouted "You just cheered for the other team."
I knew damn well it was the other team, the kid made an amazing hit and he deserved the applause. I just looked at her and asked, "What does it matter? You got money on this game or something?"
Okay, building up my intestinal fortitude. Gotta go!
