Yeah, don't wanna sound like a pedophile or nothin' here, but it warms my heart to go running and see kids playing street hockey and stuff. I agree with FavreFan that my generation was kind of the last gasp for playing video games but still appreciating the real world enough to get out and go to a fucking park on a warm day. And don't get me wrong, video games can be really fun, but how can you live in this climate and not want to spend every possible moment outside after a shitty winter? It's these iPads, I tells ya. Seven-year-olds have them!
Couldn't agree more! I lived outside as a kid,from dawn until dark,playing all kind of sports except basketball. No hoops in my neighborhood.
Kids specialize these days. Especially the good players. We just played whatever sport was in season and the best athletes were there too. All summer was baseball. The first cool day we switched to football. When they froze Central Park we played hockey. and as soon as the snow was gone from the courts we played hoops.
Even high school sports have changed drastically. The best soccer and volleyball players probably don't even play on their high school teams. And the AAU season in hoops is more important than the state playoffs.
