Black people are the most tribally racist folks in the country.

oh no, not even close

it is Asians by far

especially Far East Asians, they despise brown, white and black

Central Asians are a little bit more tolerant of other races than Far Eastern Asians in my experience

There really is a psychopathy at play here. These people are mentally disturbed in the same way a psychopathic murderer does not recognize his crimes as wrong, nor does he feel remorse. They see no hypocrisy. They are incapable of seeing it. They are just that mentally disturbed.

ego, hubris and over inflated self importance

Who implied that it does?

the Media coverage

remembering names

Why does Carter’s opinion on the POTUS have more weight than Dart’s

Because he is a Muslim?

Frankly Dart can tell him to GFH because
QB >>> Any other position

I never understood Brees capitulating to Michael Thomas on BLM BS either

Dude stfu It’s not my fault or anyone else’s fault here that your kids sucks at sports. I have two that play ball One has been travel ball for 10 years And it paid off tremendously for not only her but our HS team (most them play travel too for years) She has no desire to play college ball and he been approached 2 diff times this past season about it from college coaches . It’s about better competition and playing with and against higher level. I wouldn’t trade past ten years of travel ball for anything

it’s ironic there are people like this posting in this thread, getting very defensive

if you dont exhibit this behavior, then perhaps this X post isnt about you?

keep in mind all I said was youth sports is supposed to be fun, not a job or a lifestyle

my perspective: I played varsity basketball in HS, then I was involved in HS basketball for 20 years as a coach and as a reff

so my view on youth sports and parents behavior is pretty well informed

there is a funny story that floated around the Acadiana area high school coaches circles for years. A very prominent and highly decorated high school varsity baseball coach in the Acadiana area had just taken over a new job, and the program was in a state of disarray with a bunch of daddy ball types with their very opinionated wives wreaking havoc. He walked into a room full of 8th grade parents of boys trying out for the freshman team and said “you have two jobs. Love and support your kids and don’t frick them up before they get to us.”

It’s supposed to be fun
Not a job or a lifestyle

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ??

I went swimming in the pacific in Waikiki Hawaii and the current was so strong I ended up almost a half mile down the beach from where I went in

I didn’t post this to bum people out, it hit me personally because he Joshua was a kid I would see almost everyday and his family are super nice and friendly people

Just hits different when you know the victim
