Overzealous youth sports coaches and dads.

Huge trigger. Want to fight.

That can get pretty difficult to deal with, especially the dads. I have seen some real assholes coaching but not much you can do about it but sign up for the job yourself. Then you get to see the dads (and moms) in the real light.
I coached both Pop Warner Football and Basketball teams without too much problem but for one guy that really got pissed that I didn't play his son at Quarterback. Another time I agreed to coach the pitchers in little league. Another dad getting pissed convinced me that I had done enough duty with coaching and dads.
Ha! That was a relief.

The next year we were in California and I stayed out of the coaching business. But 11 year old son is playing little league. Coach comes to me and asks me, can you work with him as a pitcher, I need a pitcher! OK! Will do. That was a real pleasant time of it, the coach was exceptionally good with the kids, a real pro. He had been with the Ms Twins during his pitching days. Managed to take those kids to the Nor Cal Championship game. They lost but they all remember the time. I met up with one of them last winter with my son on the boat in Marina del Ray. In their 50s now and still had a word or two to say about that season.

This just triggered me!
Keeping the same coach again, for another dang season. The team displays the same flaws again like always, resulting in the decisive loss of a playoff series for just about the same reasons.

Then to see comments about stability is good! Fuck that! Winning is good Correcting flaws is good!
Same same sucks. Even same same with new players sucks.
 
Americans who expect only English to be spoken here but refuse to speak the local language when traveling overseas and think THAT's ok...hey yank! you're in Cabo! We only speak MEXICAN here!
 
Reduced now to defending the N word @MarAzul ? That’s really quite a pathetic position you have put yourself in there, genius.

But you can still come back to the good side of the force - if you rid yourself of all of that embarrassing muck.

Don't lie. You didn't say "stingy." You used a word I won't repeat, and neither should you ever again.

Why? It's a completely harmless, legitimate word, having literally nothing to do with anything derogatory. Just like the word snigger, which means belly laugh

But it's not the N word. It has literally nothing to do with that word.
 
I know it's not the N word. You would have been banned if you had posted it.

But let's just not.

The swastika was some sort of ancient symbol of good before Hitler got it. We are doing fine without it.

I would be delighted if everyone stopped using any variation of the N word. Everyone.

For now we can live without this version you posted. I'm all for being technically correct about things and feel mildly hypocritical to take this stance but fuck it.

What version? It's not even spelled the same.

Doesn't even matter the exact spelling. It is a word people barely use. It can go away

So that's the answer? Get rid of old words? No more Shakespeare or King James Bible?

I haven't used tubular since the 80's, should we ban that one as well?

Who does tubular offend?

I'm not even saying ban it. I don't want to ban the swastika even though the Nazis were evil.

I'm saying we can compromise on stuff

No defense needed from me, I just thought I would help you with the facts. Julian said it like it is.

Actually, I think Mr. Bond got it spot on. Nothing wrong with the word that a dictionary won't correct. There are other benifits to that process too, like taking offense where none is due is a good thing to undo.

I guess I don't understand, "any variation of the N word"? English unlike other indo- European languages is largely a commingling of the other languages. I get it the Spanish/Portuguese version of black is now righteously out, due to a bastardize version in English now in disuse. But now everything beginning with N regardless of meaning or even origin?

So if a word that shouldn't offend anyone, actually does because it sorta looks like another word, we delete it?

So if someone uses the word speck, honk, setback, etc. Those posts will get deleted?

What if someone who is an atheist is offended by the word Christmas? Does that word go away too?

Now, you are not only embarrassing yourself further, you are also derailing a thread.

Yes, they actually worked on that one. It seems to have failed.

But I wonder when we begin burning the library books with N words in them? Which words will make the cut?

Julian Bond, an American Civil Rights leader was an interesting character to watch through History. Of my generation, a little latter than me but the same generation. He came on the National scene as a young man and always commanded attention and respect.

Sort of interesting to me especially due to his style which I noted with interest. Not that I would always agree with his positions
but I did more often that some others. While he tended to be a Democrat, he couldn't always pull it off. The man was often too logical to gain full democrat support I think.

It was his take on the trigger subject here that I referred to in an earlier post in this thread. I now see my posts have been deleted. WTF is this world coming to?

@SlyPokerDog! What's up with this shit? Is today the day you bann MarAzul?
