The coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside
and asked, “Do you understand what co-operation is?
What a team is?” “Yes, coach”, replied
the boy.
“Do you understand that what matters is we win or lose as a
team?” The boy nodded in yes.
The coach continued, “I’m sure you know, when an out is
called, you shouldn’t argue, curse, attack the umpire,
or call him a pecker-head, dickhead or asshole. Do you
understand all that?” Again, the boy nodded yes.
And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a
chance to play, it’s not good sportsmanship to call your
coach a dumb ass or shithead is it?” “No,
coach.
“Good,” said the coach, “Now go over there and explain all that
to your Grandmother”!
Thanks to “Cuz” Judy for the above insight – Thanks Grandma!
