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

[Braincase]

OK, boys. Last week we tried to show you what travelling was. You can't take three steps after you've picked up your dribble, you can't take a bunny hop before putting up a jumper. You can't shove a girl into the scorers table without a call, you can't let the other team pick up the ball and throw it in after a score (that's a technical foul, by the way).

Just to let you know, three of the players' moms are attornies, and they've all got PMS.

Just sayin'


(I got T-d up last week after our girl got hacked and made they shot - refs disallowed the shot, we missed the freebies, they got a rebound, broke away, and the girl took no less than 3 steps prior to making her layup. We got called for a foul on the shot, and she made her free throw... as well as the free throws on the technical. We were down by one, would've gone up by one, instead we went down by seven... I lost it)

D-1 athlete in the seventies, yo!

So my daughter flunked out of college and said the teachers were a real bitch, well I showed them, I wrote a note to them, told them that's what life is about right here. I let one of my daughters sign it. She got her period that nite, it was awesome.

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.

My eyes are bleeding from the awesomeness of reading these words.

Great moments in history Vol 2 In this day 30 years ago Rosa Parks stood up for what she believed in and helped change America as we know it. Today a Man, got a techincal foul in a 7th grade girls game, and sent a letter to them. Everyone involved had their period that day. It was awesome.

It's bad enough if the head coach negatively impacts the outcome of a game due to sportsmanship issues. It's somehow worse when it's an assistant to the coach.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you weren't there. I'm not saying I did the right thing, but I'm not ashamed. I left on my own accord, and I wasn't kicked out of the game.

Regarding the unsportsmalike call, as I mentioned before, I was vocal trying to protect my kids. Ref took issue with the volume of my voice, and threw the flag.

I don't expect you to understand. The whole athletic competition thing might not be cerebral enough for you.

And some douche didn't read the thread before trying to mock the thread starter.

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.

Believe it or not, that part was meant as a joke.

I'm going to have to defer to your superiority on this one. I don't grasp the enormity that is the struggle of girls in braces vying for basketball supremacy. I was only a D-2 athlete, and my endeavors weren't even important enough to boast about on a message board.

She stood up for what she believed in. That's what history remembers, anyway. What they don't teach you in elementary school is that Rosa Parks didn't get her feet set before she got hit with that baton. If the refs weren't blind, she would have been called for blocking.

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

Your back on ignore, Massengill.
