High School Sports are unfair!

[Saint John]

I say Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur it's cold in here, there must be some toro's in the atmosphere.

"what you thought some white girl thought up that cheer?"

Eliza Duschku was on our flight into Utah not long ago, she stopped and gave the kids autographs, she is hot!!!

Kirsten Dunst is my favorite...perhaps ever. And that's an outstanding movie.

OK, that's just hilarious that it's two men quoting "Bring it On" I couldn't have told you that cheer word for word. But thanks Dan, now I have a visual of you in your living room in a fly away skirt gettin' your cheer on!!!! (Hmm, a John Travolta and cheerleader confession all in one week....things that make you go hmmmmmmmm?)

Hey WIX, I say at the next gathering we blow everyone's mind and break out this cheer at the oddest moment. People will flip.

Anyone else ever encounter coach's playing favorites
at their or their kids' high school?
My boy is a wonderful athlete but the coaches only
play to a certain few over and over....arrggghh....

Good grief...YES! I played volleyball from 5th grade til my sophmore year. I got sick of sitting on the bench because my name wasn't so and so and my parents didn't have enough money. Spent the last two years of high school cheerleading for this same volleyball team, still being looked down on by the volleyball coach, who to this day, has the balls to say hi to me every time I see her.

She's probably pissed you have bigger cans than her. I can see Angie going up for the block all the while getting slapped in the eye by her own bags.

If your son is just as good or better..then it does make one wonder. The sad thing is that the good one's do play..even at a young level.

At a younger age when they are 'little' they have to play all of them.

Not that is should matter..but what age are we talking about here?

Does he play more than one sport and does this happen with all of them?

If he really is that good and not being played..you need to find out if there is some problem you don't know about.

I remembered this after posting this afternoon-the BEST revenge.

A couple of summers ago my son played on a baseball team with a terrible coach! He was very degrading to the kids. My son got hit with a pitch early on in the season and became afraid of the ball after that. He would get up to bat and would jump out every time. Instead of helping him the coach would taunt him and say things like "(my son's name) couldn't hit a ball if his life depended on it" or "well here's an automatic out." Instead of giving him the satisfaction of arguing with him, we just hit the batting cages and got him some private coaching. By the end of the season he was getting better but this coach still harrassed him. The next year he got a different coach and it was sweet justice when he sent one out of the park over the centerfield fence-while playing the aforementioned coach's team!!!!!! He also made the all star team that year.

I thought of that but I try to keep a low profile-making the national news kinda ruins that!

[journey062393]

I remember my 9th grade year, getting cut in basketball, along with a lot of other good basketball players I knew, because the coach decided to take all of the great football players that tried out. They were terrible. They were physical but terrible basketball players. So then in 10th grade i was told not to even bother to try out since most of the players from the prior year would be kept. But I was welcome to be the "manager". So i took this job and got to take part in drills and stuff like that, and continued to show up the team each practice until one day the coach said that it was pathetic that the best shooter on his team was the manager. However, they still wouldnt allow me to be put on the team. The next year, and a different coach who came in and said he was told by the administration that he was to keep all of the players from the prior year because their families were some of the top alumni of the school. Finally gave up senior year and didnt try. It was funny that myself along with one other person from that school who decided to transfer because they were sick of the politics, were the only 2 to go on to play college basketball. To this day, that 10th grade coach talks to me and refers to our team and thinks that i actually played on the team back then.

Thanks for the responses

My kid runs track and field, so you kind
of have to be good at a lot of things=which he is.... but there are those
that get rewarded over and over for the more glamorous events and that's just
the way it goes. Running is a team sport but then again its all based on personal performance
just like golf and tennis and there is no doubt when favorites are being played since
there is no one else to blame if you mess up.

thanks for the vent....

Oh for fucks sake! Here we are thinking he is being snubbed for basketball or football, real sports.

Track is an individual sport where the clock does not lie. If your boy is good enough, the clock will justify it. If not, tough shit.

Cross Country besides being completely fucking retarded, is a team sport, but who cares about running from one town to another town. Ever heard of driving?

How far can you run lard ass? and you are right the clock doesn't lie that's why I was upset.
You don't watch the Decathalon at the Olympics? God you're dumb.

I love track and field.

No, I don't watch the fuckin decathalon. When I was in HS and college, I rant up to 8 miles at a time. I am 42 so I have smartened up and DRIVE to where I need to go.

If your son ran faster then the others and was NOT on the team, I would do whatever it took to prove the coach was an asshole.

You say I am dumb? You're the one with head up your ass, you fuckin bubble headed blonde. Go fuck yourself

Liz,

You are onto to something here. There is no doubt this shit happens. You have even a bigger problem than the rest of the nation because you live in Texas. HS football in Texas is huge. Bigger than big. Watch Varsity Blues if you don't believe me. That movie is so right and so dead on. There is a good ol boys club in HS sports. You could go to the athletic director but he his probably a good buddy of the head coach. You could move to another district as well. It sucks and I feel for you.

Deano..... most likely with the exception of the mega 5A schools in this state, the athletic director IS the head coach when it comes to football. My district is one of the larger 4A's and the last three years have been the ONLY years since the school's inception that the AD has not also been the head coach of football.
All those neat little movies coming out of hollyweird don't even really scratch the surface of TX HS Football... as sad as that is. Then again, (I'll duck and cover later) our swimming, tennis, golf and soccer teams go much higher in the playoffs than football, but football gets ALL the money. :::shrug::: Not sayin that I haven't been at every single football game (missed one in 81) since the early 70's.

My truck costs about $50 to fill up every 3 or 4 days...and it's only that little because of the friggin' stupid $50 limit on VISA transactions at the gas pump (Mastercard is $75).

My house burned to the ground in 1999, and the small amount of pics I had would need to be scanned. it wasn't like today where everyone has digital cameras, but I can tell you I played college sports at the community college level and the PAC 10 as well. That should be good enough I would think.

PS- 45 to fill up my Pathfinder? Try 65. Gas here is 3.89 per gallon.

in HS its starting to be who has all the talent...and are they going to help the team win and make the coach keep his job... and chemistry with the rest
of the guys.gals on the team. **wonderful** doesnt make it anymore once they get to hs.....that is JR high stuff.. sorry to be tough here..
i was a wonderful athlete too, but not as good as the guys on the court or the guys on the field.. i knew that by 8th and 9th grade.
i was not going to be the stud you needed to be to really find playing time--- so i went to something i was good at which at that time
was tennis... and still was not in top 10 at my school... i was just happy to play... and be apart of something. sports is learning...
and life lessons..
