That's one thing that sucks about the class system. You'll never have a Hebron again. The Judson brothers fillin' it up!

High school athletics are great. That is an entirely different statement from mine

there are a few assumptions in your last statement and a thinly veiled accusation

I think I have been pretty consistent that I find ESPN's expanding coverage of LLWS to be similarly grotesque.

There are so very few cases where a child handles fame well that it is remarkable when one ends up a well adjusted adult.

I don't know what the thinly veiled accusation might be but I fail to see the outrage over 16 and 17 yr olds receiving coverage in a local newspaper. Even the ESPN rankings and coverage doesnt bother me, because if I'm going to be outraged over that then I will have to be outraged each and every time someone not of legal age receives publicity.


It doesn't bother me when child actors act, nor does it bother me when teenage gymnasts participate in the olympics. It also doesn't bother me when they perform in talent shows. Are we outraged when teenagers perform on "Jeopardy" also.

You open up an entire can of worms when you begin making it immoral to cover high school athletics. That is my point.

If they're not covered, how would we know about them? I only get to a couple games each season.

Although I agree that there's something obscene about the way ESPN covers the LLWS.

I do think that the "creepy" factor increases according to the age of the child. High School age is not really creepy. I don't know if watching an 8th grader play basketball is creepy either. Beauty pageant watching of anyone under the age of 21 may qualify though.

There's more similarities than differences in a beauty competition and a sports competition.

I never said the games shouldn't receive any coverage.

I'm sure Dan Bernstein and Terry Boers would definitely be able to find more similarities than differences.

Yep.

Fuck St. Rita, too, forever and always just because they're St. Rita, but fuck them because it was 45 degrees in their old gym.

Actually I don't really have anything against St Rita, I was just conditioned as a ute to think that way.

Baffoe is an employee

Some of these schools just have too much damn money.

I was thinking Laurence might be after Rice and before Rita, Mike.

At least we can all agree Marist is the farist.

Indubitably.

1. Joliet Catholic

3.

I never think of Lawrence as being in that group but I suppose it is.

Caring about High School sports as a grown ass man has to be due to some sort of mental illness.
