That's All I Can Stands ...
... I can't stands no more. (Popeye)
I watch CNN while working out at the gym and I've seen this commercial dozens of times. It's a commercial for Humira. A woman realizes that although she's trying to manage her ulcerative colitis, her fear of reoccurring symptoms means she's missing out on special family moments. At her son's basketball game, she's distracted by her discomfort and must step out, just before her son makes a three pointer. I want to scream every time I see it. 1) Son, and a his teammates, are wearing red jerseys with the name of their school, "Central", on the front of the jersey. The son, and a few of his teammates, are wearing white undershirts under their red jerseys. 2) Immediately after the game, the son, still wearing his sweaty, dirty, game worn uniform, is standing in line, with his dad, at the salad bar of a restaurant, getting ready to enjoy a post game meal with his family. Don't kids learn proper hygiene any more? Back when I was his age, after our games, and practices, all of us would shower, and put on our street clothes. I would never even consider wearing my smelly uniform, or dirty practice stuff, outside the gym, especially to a public place like a restaurant. I hope that the family sitting next to them at the restaurant brought some Lysol, or Febreze, with them. Now I feel better. Would someone please help me down from this soapbox before I fall and get hurt? After this I'm going to yell at some kids to get off of my front lawn. |

If the mother has ulcerative colitis, I don't think the son's smelly gym clothes are going to be noticed.

Get Off My Lawn ...

What I don't get is how a parent can bring a sweaty kid, with a dirty, smelly uniform, into a sit down restaurant. A McDonald's drive through? Sure. If I'm dropping a bundle for a steak at Ruth's Chris Steak House, I don't want some smelly kid, in a sweaty uniform, sitting at the next table. Go home, shower, put on some clean clothes, and then go out for a family dinner. Why can't they be like we were, perfect in every way? What's the matter with kids today? (Bye Bye Birdie) Damn neighbor kids are back on my front lawn again. I'll get them good this time, I'll turn the hose on them. |
When I started officiating varsity hoops 7 or 8 years ago and decided showering after every single/double header was something I wanted to do, I was surprised to find out how many locker room shower areas/stalls have been converted to storage areas for the athletic departments outdated equipment, and misc items.
I've got to believe it's because of years of no use. Quote:

The number 1 reason I hate dress codes for HS games. We get inadequate changing facilities that often lack showers. |
