So sad that the punch, pull hair, talk shit, do steroids, lie, cheat, or steal, it isn't about the game or how you play but only if you win, non PC, non-athletic, tough guy has become the norm.
Thank God for the memories of good sportsmanship and honest competition among athletically inclined kids (encouraged and enforced by good, clean, tough, coaching) who all enjoyed playing sports.
I'm sure that many parents would trade all the good memories of their children for a nice shiny trophy to put on the mantle and brag about, but not all. Fewer still the actual athletes.
