**oh geeze, not worth arguing about. Be presidential**

Exactly. I’m conservative and don’t care who wins a title that probably won’t mean a thing to 99% of the voters a year from now.

Only a month ago, while teaching the adult sunday school class on the subject of real life priorities, I asked if anyone knew a team that won a national college football title during the first decade of this century. All 19 people didn’t even try to answer that question.

And part of what inspired me to include that in my study of priorities was the testimony of a former high school football coach in Illinois. He had a team that won a state title 40 years ago, but as years passed by, he saw the negative impact that excessive sports emphasis can cause, and quit coaching. He saw kids that lost meaning in life because playing football ended for them, and for years after longed for that ‘high’ but couldn’t find it again.

Another IL coach that was a very successful high school basketball coach quit because he felt the off season, especially summer, shouldn’t have organized tournaments nearly every weekend. Families were suffering because of the obsession of maybe one kid and/or parent. He especially was dismayed at the sunday tournaments keeping families away from church.

Trump’s a sports guy. He owned a USFL team, Trump is not the typical politician, and no he doesn’t act “Presidential”. So what?

it’s just a ridiculous thing to do because it doesn’t matter. If you have to crack on DeSantis, do it on something substantial.
