I’m in my third season coaching high school baseball. The kids are great. My senior coach and I make the first emphasis grades, and I was really proud when one of our players informed us that he’s 4.0 and we let the team know it.

Lately though, there has seemed a deemphasis on the baseball program. Our field is in need of signficant maintainance and we need to upgrade equipment, but the very liberal principal and staff have undercut us drastically in telling us there is no money in the budget to support these badly needed basics. This despite significant outlays for football (which turns consistently losing seasons) and all other sports as far as I can tell.

Salary (a stipend) doesn’t even matter to me as I’m on social security and the Mrs is doing fairly well. But I know our head coach is flumuxed as to how we’re going to continue to support the program. We’ve got a few private incentives going and projected, but I see bad times ahead.

I can’t see otherwise but that this is contrived and directed specifically against the baseball program.

Only something faggots would cause.

After hiring a gay president, some foolishly thought gays would turn down the tantrum volume, and stop the screaming. But no, ...now they expect all of us to like their cultural graffiti, and they are going to bully anyone who doesn’t. It’s time to lock them back into the closet, and throw away the key.

This pretty much goes with the territory with being an entertainer for a living. Your bosses are very touchy about offending any segment of the paying public. (except, stangly enough, Christians)

Speaking of baseball—we all knew Obama couldn’t pitch but we know now that he IS a “catcher.”

Woooooooooo!

" Escobar was suspended for three games without pay, with his salary of between $83,000 and $92,000 for those games going to two homosexual activist organizations – You Can Play, a lobby for non-heterosexual athletes, and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation."

Can he bring his bat?

This is their next move, they are going after the sports world. Are they going to force sports players to do public service announcements against *hate*? Homo players are going to come out and make their direct appeal to the public through public service announcements. How about the announcers announcing fund raisers for pro-gay groups during the games? How about athletes having to do charity games for gay groups? Don’t be surprised.
