Kareem Calls The Shots on Sports This Week 1.22.22
Sacred Heart Catholic School Bad Sportsmanship. Outrage Over Jerry Harris Cheerleading Abuse and New Jersey Basketball
This week I’m focusing on three stories about youth sports. To me, sports is a great opportunity to teach our children the values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. And for them to have fun while developing healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Unless, of course, it gets ruined by corrupt adults who we parents trust to protect and teach our children.
Who teaches them? More song lyrics:
You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are 6 or7 or 8
To hate all the people YOUR RELATIVES* hate (*emphasis mine).
Take a look at the MAGA rallies and see the little ones with their parents.
Off-topic note: If you don't usually read the Washington Post, check today's front page for a large article about thre NBA' 75 year celebration.
I'm not about to paint all Catholic schools with the same damning brush, but the ones that have turned into factories of privilege for wealthy bigots should be dismantled. If there are any sincere Christian Catholics remaining in these institutions, they should demand a clean house. My bible memory is a little rusty, but I think even Jesus got pissed, tumped over the moneychangers' tables, and kicked those m@#$%^f*&^%$s out of the Temple court.
