You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being
Is that the game where you have all that padding and a crash helmet?
I've got kids who do both (and I lettered varsity in high school football myself so I think I have the qualifications to comment). 1) To each his own - it's conservative to allow people to choose what they prefer. 2) Do you really want your daughter to suit up in pads and hit the gridiron? I don't. 3) Yes, the refs are not calling the games as consistently as they should. Life is like that. Learn to make a way to win anyway - that is also conservative. Go over the game films of any high school or college game you like and I'll find you a bunch of stuff that didn't get called (or was called wrong). 4) I counsel both my kids not to cheat - not to dive in soccer, etc., and not to do the hundred mean, nasty and illegal tricks I picked up playing football (like running a play at a ref when they make a bad call). ;>)
