An open letter to the refs of my daughters' game this afternoon

I'm just hoping they get a shot at making their 8th grade teams next year. I think my kids have a better shot at academic scholarships than athletic scholarships, but ya never know. I'm sure you know how hard you had to work to get your D-1 athletic scholly.

I didn't work at all for an athletic scholly. I went to school for free on a National Merit scholarship. It worked out pretty well, because in the real world I don't have to worry about some pimply-faced 16 year old trying to sabotage me.

You talk a lot about being a D-1 athlete. Here's betting that your scholarship was:

1. Not in football or probably even basketball (ie. not in anything that anyone gives a rats ass about, especially not 20 years later)

2. Not in anything that impacts your career in a positive way to the extent that studying would have.

Man, you are an arrogant douche. I ran decathlon at Wichita State. I popped a knee. I was also in the Emory Lindquist Honors Society.

And I learned that alot of National Merit Scholars are arrogant douches.

You are the douche that tried to hump my leg by throwing out the D-1 athlete comment. Didn't mean to rub it in your face. Sorry that your boss's boss was a National Merit scholar while you were busy being decathletic. I'm sure you'd be on the pro decathlon circuit today instead of whining about pre-pubescent girls' basketball officiating if your knee had held true.

Whatever, Mr. National Merit Scholar. If you don't like the subject, recuse yourself from the conversation.

Your back on ignore, Massengill.
