Yet another reason to avoid little league

[Ray]

I read in our local paper recently about how ALL people who apply now for jobs working with children are undergoing increased scrutiny. Apparently people --even people who work for the government --have realized that if a guy has a part time job in the Disney store at the Mall and a full time job as a church youth group leader, chances are he is attracted to kids. And potentially a child molester. The same goes for little league. If a guy volunteers to coach little leaguers, he probably bears watching. I don't mean to sound too critical but men, in general, are not an altruistic lot --sure there are lots of us who do care about our community and want to give back but I suspect their numbers are relatively low.

I remember when I was a kid my mom enrolled me in little league. I hadn't asked to be enrolled --I didn't even know what it was --but I went along and showed up at the practices like a good boy. We had three coaches. One fat guy seemed to be in charge and organized things and the two other guys sort of hung around and said helpful things now and then. One of them wore a black cowboy hat and seemed pretty cool. The two idlers, who always kind of stayed together on the sidelines, told us that they had to show up at the little league practices as some sort of community service assigned by the court. They were supposed to be assistant coaches. I don't know what they did. Probably nothing serious but you never know.

So here is yet ANOTHER reason to avoid the little league experience. Not only is it not necessary for healthy growth, kids are also at risk of being exposed to predators or even court-assigned malcontents. So, mamas, don't let your boys grow up to be little leaguers!

I agree. Boy aren't we a stupid society when he hand over our children to a big fat bellied, loudmouth, verbal abuser. Instead of screaming (not necessarily re: sports) at kids, you look them in the eye and let them know what they need to work on. You don't have to go "easy" on them. They WILL respond to that I have found.

of course! Kids aren't stupid. Yelling at kids doesn't help anyone except the sadist who wormed his slimy way into the coach position. See Two-Dog's letter posted today in the Letters section for a good example of a sadist coach.

What? Yes, of course. That's what coaches do. They're assholes who found their niche bullying kids.

This surprised even me. I figured some coaches merited watching but holy COW! Every coach on this team has a serious criminal record!
The government doesn't check the backgrounds of prospective coaches and noone knew they had criminal records.

They were exposed when one of the kid's parents blew the whistle and now the team is retaliating against him. He's banned from football. Lucky kid.

Some PArents would rather have their kids get a College Scholarship (or a small Chance at), and A Traumatic Experience than have to pay for College and live a Normal Life

[mikejones]

this is the dumbest convo i've ever seen online. to totally generalize about an entire group of people, most of whom have dedicated their lived helping kids improve at something they love, is a deplorable attempt by a sad collection of misanthropes to make themselves less pathetic.


and for a bunch of physical activity hating losers, your grammar and spelling sucks. you guys are making nerds look bad
