Why not just let your boys wear skirts and panties?
There is nothing wrong with Texas football....except having grade schoolers playing their games in 110 degree heat in August, and the coaches are getting better about letting the boys drink water now.
It’s no accident that the NFL is full of players from TX and the South.
Being a man doesn’t require you to teach little kids to hurt each other. Its not like your kid is going to play in the NFL afterall.
Some of the greatest NFL players never put on the pads before high school. And one wonders how many potential greats were turned off the sport because of hollering coaches and being late growers.
Maybe it’s just me, but the idea of having amateur Greg Schianos screaming at little kids to hurt their opponents seems a bit excessive.
Kids can be taught valuable lessons about competition, teamwork and dedication without being “coached” to injure other players, and without being bullied by some mental midget who is either suffering from delusions of “coaching” grandeur or is living vicariously through his players.
The majority of youth-league coaches I have encountered are in it for the right reasons, but there are a significant number who are so mentally unbalanced about sports that they have no business being anywhere near our children.
There IS a middle ground.
If you have sons then I hope for their sake you find it.
