Little Rascals!

(While watching an interschool boys' football competition.)

Sports competition amongst schools are supposed to bring out the best in child athletes. Not the worst in them. Or morph them into savage brutes who whip their frail innocent opponents in order to hold on to their athletic scholarships. Whatever happened to fun, and joy, and camaraderie in games? To playing to learn and be better and winning without having to crush the competitor? This ain't boxing. Or wrestling. Sometimes, it scares the helloutof me to see little monsters in kid's bodies. Makes me wonder what kind of grown-ups they'll be... Oh, God bless humanity.
