Soccer Moms Unite Again
Thank God for the fuckin pointless people that think up this shit.
"Metal Bats now Banned in NYC Youth Leagues"First off, and just from a baseball logistics point of view, research has not shown that balls come off any less hard with wooden bats than metal. Now, while I don't believe this, it is still evidence that was supplied in lieu of the decision.
Opponents argue that there is no scientific evidence proving metal bats pose a greater danger than wooden bats, and that the anti-metal movement relies on emotional anecdotes over concrete data. Some have said they plan to challenge the matter in court.
Second, baseball as itself is a struggling sport when it comes to the attraction of youth, especially inner-city youth. The reason metal bats were put into place to begin with was so that kids did not have to buy new bats throughout the year(s). If you implement a constantly breaking piece of equipment I doubt most kids will run out and buy a new 50$ bat every week. Thanks for killing NYC high school sports lady. Also, good luck trying to find a wooden bat a 10 year old can swing propely you dunce.
Third, I want to first say that I made it here today without wearing a biking helmet, while drinking off of the hose, not wearing a cup, playing football in the street, and playing with toy guns my entire life. As a matter of fact if my Mother had made me wear a helmet or enforced any sort of stringent rule upon me I may have turned out much less asjusted than I am now. I probably would be at home, scared of the sun, sitting at her feet and watching day time soap operas while trying to keep up on my Star Wars website.
Now you listen to me you fat, nothing to do, waste of fucking space soccer moms. And you listen good. If you don't want your children to play sports, then don't let them play. Let them join the track team or the intramural flag football competitions. But when you start to invade other children's lives with your irreverant need to feel as though you are saving "just one child" please remember that you are actually hurting the spirit of 1000's of children with your maternal order or bullshit. America is a society raised by women. It is a society that is becomming increasingly weak, scared, and full of strange rules like helmet wearing,
and heart-guard wearing.
Understand that with each law like this you pass, you take away little by little, that which makes life interesting; the risk of actual life. Let me ask you a question... if you had to play flag football, with a nerf football in tennis shoes on a field with girls, do you think your adrenalin when winning or succeeding in that sport would be the same if you played in a more, let's say, brutal climate. I think not.
I hate when things like this happen. It is so very un-American.
