Importance of games

It might not even come from me; it will come from many that post here.

Nice try, but it will not work.

It is fine to have perspective:

First time poster: Last night in my 10 year old girl's game the other team repeatedly reached in and went over the back and they didn't call any fouls.

Response: You need to understand the rule on what actually is or is not a foul............etc. Also at this level, it is quite possible that the officials have limited experience.......etc. A game involving players of this age is difficult to compare to high school games or things you see on tv.........etc.

But it's not necessary to smack someone in the face with your perspective:

Response #2: Sir/ma'am, it's obvious you know nothing about the game and combined with the fact that it's just a kids game, which means it had clueless officials, there's really no point in any of us trying to explain anything to you. We have important issues to discuss, like what shoes the D1 guys wear.



Each of us must decide who he wants to be.
