So when he got together with his family and asked the kids if they wanted to play baseball with the neighborhood kids, they both said "NO!" Why you ask? Because they're to scared of losing. F that!!! Seriously, the American child is getting pathetic. Don't keep score because we might hurt your feelings, don't spank your kid because he might be emotionally scared, don't play tag because you might get hurt?, biggie/super size your meals because I want you to be happy... What ever happened to PARENTING??? This is a pretty big reason why I really don't want to ever have kids. I'd parent them and then I'd get sued when they turn 16 for giving them a hard life. Good god.

I went to several of my nephew's sporting events and they did the same thing. Not only do they not keep an overall total score, but they don't even keep individual scores for kids on the same team. Not only do the children not know what their team just accoplished, but they have no clue what they just accomplished. All they know is that they know is that they participated. Those kids who bust their butts making plays and trying to make an effort feel no more accomplishment then those kids who give a half-a$$ed effort. In the end they all partcipated..."and that's all that matters" (Bull$hit!!!).
You can't expect kids to be competitive when they grow up if they don't even now what true competition is. Competition in sports prepares kids for the competition that is present in the real-world when they grow older.
