Ease up, guys...

As far as anyone should be concerned, it's just another softball tournament. If it truly bothers you, then don't accept the assignment.

I do know they don't play by YSISF rules. Definitely not.

For several years I assigned and worked a women's modified league. The figure generally agreed upon was 70%. Some of the natural "ribbing" throughout the games was dedicated to "conversion" attempts of one kind or another. It was actually pretty funny.

Personally, I was a firm believer one of the things the military got right was the don't ask, don't tell policy.

After all, why would anybody care? Do I know people who have different sexual preferences than me? Probably, but I don't care. Do I have friends who have different sexual preferences than me? Probably, but I don't care. Do I have relatives that have different sexual preferences than me? Probably, but I don't care. Do I work softball games that involve people who have different sexual preferences than me? Probably, but ........you get the idea.

And if everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, addressed this non-issue with indifference, would anyone really care?

This is a no brainer of a non-issue. And if you are offended in any manner whether you consider yourself pro or con, conservative or liberal, tough. Get a life and a sense of humor. P.O.O.P.

It is my observation that the agenda groups are among the most intolerant of all.

I agree with Mike. Not my business. Don't ask don't tell is another story. People have the right to be who they are.

Dakota: There are intolerant groups are at both ends of the political spectrum.

Now back to softball. I'm sure that tournament will bring in a lot of $$ for the community.

I hope so. Milwaukee sure needs it.

Like I said, I wouldn't mind calling that tourney. It's just another tourney, and it'd be a good excuse to go back to my hometown and see my folks.

Ain't that the truth - "extremists" are extremists.
