.....when a soccer ball comes rolling across the street, yep, I was passing a grade school. So I swerve around it.
Then, I pass another school and there they are playing soccer. What the , it's football season. Why aren't these kids playing touch football? , when I was a kid we played football (neighborhood) with extension cords and lamps, it took..."ok kids time to come in"...from the parents. We played in the rain, in the mud, out in the street and yep it was...."ok run to the Ford and cut in". More than once hitting the pavement, running into a trash can or a car. We saw tennis and soccer as something a sissy would do.
Here in the central valley we have a "bad air" problem, there is actual talk of dumping Friday night HS games if the air quality is some level of bad.
The wimping of America.
I'm typing this with a middle finger twice as big as it should be, I broke it playing flag football, went to yank a flag and jammed it into the guys side, yep...crack. So I took off my shoes, and used a shoe string to tie it to another finger, what miss the rest the game over a mere broken finger? I never did go to a doctor.
Little boys playing soccer in the middle of football season, that just ain't right.
