Coach in my son’s soccer team led them to Number 2 in the state out of dozens of teams. One parent afterward started denouncing the coach in front of everybody and I was able to stop it, maybe too politely. That was quite an accomplishment for the coach, still studying engineering. He didn’t even favor his own son, and one parent from the other team acknowledged afterward that ours was the better team even though they let the other team get two goals in the first couple of minutes.
I’m from St Louis, a baseball town.
I fondly remember Marvin (God bless him) probably in heaven now. When I was a young boy he used to come to take me to baseball games and Gospel singing concerts and bowling. Grown up and gone “intellectual” and then missionary, though, I don’t even know the rules for football (I do like the Tebow Christian witness).
Elections in the U.S. have been contorted into a spectator sport where you pick your favorite team and hope you outnumber the other team’s fans. The way they set it up is each team gives you a list of permitted reasons to cheer for them instead of the other guy.
But the rules in the political cheering game have been rigged. The powers that be don’t know what to do with the one guy who is calling for a return to when the rules were fair to the fans, the maverick that they keep trying to pretend isn’t there. But there is an increasing number that once they realize what’s up with that, the epiphany sticks.
