Then we get soccer, which any kid can play with no real skill whatsoever.* (Along with the soccer mom and the minivan.)
Now as the last straw demonstrating without a doubt that the America we knew and loved is down the tubes, Budweiser made by a European company. (Y'all knew I was gonna say that didn't ya?)
*Yeah I know real soccer requires a high degree of athletic skill, even though it's insufferably boring to watch. But kids can play it with no skill whatsoever, the ultimate equal opportunity non-competitive "sport" for kids.
The worst thing about kids sports these days is that they don't even keep score!! Whats the fun in that!!??

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.

I don't know of any league that doesn't keep score. You must be in some poltically correct area.
California, so yeah...
But I was talking about little kids, like 6-7 and under.

I'm already keepin score. I figure my 11 month old owes me1 hour of manual labor for every dirty diaper changed. He should have it paid off by the time he's 23 (providing he's potty trained within the next week)
That is what you meant isn't it??

Our little league keeps score, but, at the end of the year, EVERY kid gets a trophy. And the last place kids get the same size trophy as the first place kids. Ridiculous.
The ultimate sign of the end of days is the friggin so-called reality shows on every channel.
I second that
As for all the kids getting a trophy and not keeping score. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having young kids (6-7 year olds) play a sport, learn the fundamentals and not keep score. Kids that age should be worried about learning how to play the game, not win. Besides there will be enough @$$hole parents there to keep score then go brag to all their friends about how their 8 year old hit a ball past a 6 year old picking daisies in the outfield.
Still, the earlier kids learn about losing, the better they will be able to cope later on in the real world. I live in one of those politically correct places and see the kids keeping score anyway, so they may as well do it formally. When I played at 6 and 7, they kept score and I didn't commit suicide. I don't understand how today's kids are so fragile we dare not let them know they lost. Losing is what makes winning more enjoyable.
As for trophies for all, we get that too and it's sickening. It dumbs down the notion of earning trophies!
