A game invented for the healthy exercise of young gentlemen

The other night I saw one of the most disgusting displays of behavior I think I may have ever witnessed. Players acting like street corner thugs. A coach swearing openly at an official.High school game, city park ...no not even the NBA. The women's NCAA. The female coach was swearing at a female ref. Poor sportsmanship does not begin to cover it. The night before in the men's tournament a player jumped on a table beating his chest at the end of the game. Before he had congratulated his teammates, let alone the opposing team.
Last fall at a family gathering we were watching a college football game. One of my nephews is a huge fan of one of the teams. You know the type, never went there, but has the vanity plates and all the rest of the crap.A celebration penalty brought him to his feet yelling"Bull s**t!".I pointed out the the rule had been broken, "Stupid rule" was his reply.
"But it's still the rule",
"And it's still stupid!".
"So following your logic, if you think the rule against killing someone is stupid, you may kill someone if you wish."
"That's different!"
"Is it?"
"Nobody's that stupid!"
"Stupid seems to be your answer to everything, I wonder why that is?"
Our respective wives told us each to knock it off. I maturely replied "He started it."I only see the guy once or twice a year and it is never the highlight of my day.If I have a point I guess that it's that sports were once supposed to teach many of life's good attributes,now not so much.And like so many things, you ain't gonna change it back. OK I feel better now.
