Wussification of America

You never played any sports, did you?
A lot of professional athletes and coaches among others who "play sports" have expressed the same thing that wiggen has expressed so the "you haven't played sports card" doesn't really work here.
 
Yeah, wee have to toughen those kids up by convincing them that they're losers.

O conservatives and their pathologies.


what an idiotic take. Telling every kid they are winners when they have done nothing to deserve such praise leads to kids who end up being "progressives" and thinking they don't have to work for rewards

You haven't either evidently...

Uh yeah, I actually have as did every single person in my family so I'm quite familiar with it. That's irrelevant though.

In any case, I see you're fond of the deflection defense mechanism. Again, many professional athletes and coaches have expressed the same things wiggen did and they have far more experience in "playing sports" than any of us. How do you account for that in light of your dismissal of wiggen's post?

Which answers the "you haven't played sports" question. :mrgreen:

But really, there is an observable problem and it won't be solved by going to extremes. You're correct, abuse isn't the answer, but neither is coddling or raising hothouse flowers. There is a middle ground.

No deflection, I post exactly what I intend. Any athlete at any level would not take issue with the actions taped unless they were wussies...

Why didn't the Rutgers players just say, "**** you jack! I quit!", if they were so opposed to how they were treated? None of them were man enough to stand up to the coach. No wonder they have a losing record.

A sum-bitch hit me with a basketball like that and he would have gotten hit back with the same ball, only harder and his is ****in face.

I agree, abuse and treating kids like snowflakes both leave them unprepared for the world just in different ways. Adults who do either need to get their **** together.

Now you're abandoning what you said to wiggen. You criticized his post on the assumption that he hadn't played any sports. However, many professional athletes and coaches have said the same things that wiggen said. This means that your criticism of wiggen's post was nonsensical. Do you concede this or will you continue to deflect?

I haven't abandoned anything. Do you have a comprehension issue?

Why would young adults with scholarships who love playing basketball, who are in subordinate positions and who have responsibilities, families, egos and other issues to deal with accept abuse from an authority figure while people like you would blame them for the abuse they received and others would call them "wusses" for protesting stay in such a situation? Well, I don't ****ing know. Sounds completely unbelievable.

Actually, you have abandoned what you said to wiggen because you refuse to answer for it. You criticized his position on the assumption that he hasn't played sports even though professional athletes and coaches hold the same position. Do you concede that that will illogical or will you choose cowardice and deflect again?
 
ZZZZZZZ. Yeah, we've only been conveying tone in our written communications since there were written communications. But I'm sure you can come up with a number of studies that show we can't. Hilarious.

so live with ignorance.

You appear a bit dense. If athletes felt abused, do you believe they would be too scared to resist? They hold the real power, not the coach, if this were truly an abusive situation...

Deflection again. You criticized wiggen's position on the assumption that he didn't play any sports, but professional athletes and coaches hold the same position as wiggen? Do you concede that your original criticism of wiggen was illogical?
 
You never played any sports, did you?

I played a hell of a lot of sports. I never had a coach scream disgusting homophobic insults at me, let alone physically abuse me. But then again, your a 'liberal':lamoin Alabama, so maybe that's the way your world works.

Coaches have to train their players for what can happen come game time

If you think athletes in college hold the real power, you don't have a frickin' clue how college athletics works.

Because, obviously, they're a buncha ******s; a product of the Liberalised public school system.

They probably came from Leftist families, where they learned, "Just sit back and suck on it! Never stand up for yourself."

Yeah, except if somebody on the other team throws a basketball at your head or kicks you, they get a double technical and an automatic ejection. Are you familiar at all with sports?

WTF do you expect them to say? Nothing I post is illogical, but your posts I'm not so sure about...
