Go search for the 60 Minutes piece on how the latest jock parent craze has been holding their kids back from entering Kindergarten or 1st grade in order to give them an athletic advantage over classmates once they hit puberty a year earlier. 

I know a few parents that have done it.  In most cases, their kid was short for his age group and they hoped he'd be closer to the average or median height if they held him back a year.  Nope, still short.

QuoteParents have been out of the "participation trophy" bit for a while.

I wish my kid's basketball league had gotten that memo.

QuoteBut Dumbfuckistanis like to perpetuate it, all part of the "Welfare Queen" theme.

No idea how you're making that connection.

That's really unfair.  There are plenty of things that derspeiss says, believes and does that have nothing to do with his hatred for black people. 
They have to do with his misogyny.  :contract:

Girls soccer games are blood sports. Not a joke. The blood starts in the stands.

The blood is coming out of their wherevers.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

What the fuck?  I've run across misogyny before, but seldom such blatant misogyny. Take a timeout.
