Thanks for posting this article. The writer nailed it about kid's sports. Adults have ruined the whole experience. I have had other moms at games tell me that "daddy and junior" rehash the game and the plays all the way home and "junior" ends up crying. I always wonder silently why the kid would ever want to play with that kind of pressure. The weird part is I usually know the dads and they sure weren't superstars themselves. Adults behavior seems to be worse with baseball and basketball. We just finished junior-pro football and it was a wonderful season.

Absolutely, Amen to that! I see it happening with my own step-grandchildren now. When I was a child we roamed the woods and fields and rambled miles from home and did whatever a child could think of. The last thing a small boy needs is his father supervising his play when he is five years old. Children have imagination, they don't need adults stifling that imagination.
