[quote name="jag86" post="1275227" timestamp="1347990747"] I totally understand I can do what I want!! That wasnt the gist of the BLOG!! Peolpe like you one4All just turn stuff around, everytime you guys see JAG86 it gets personal. For the record, I am nor referring to the Central JAGS when I created my user name!! I have no affiliation with any Beaumont SCHOOLS, my wife went to WEST BROOK!! Go figure!!!! [/quote] Personal?  Why are you so sure he was talking to you?  I believe "theoneandonly" started the thread.  He may have been talking to him.

[quote name="jag86" post="1275215" timestamp="1347990199"] Your correct Crashdavis, youth sports are to teach and develope kids. So whats the problem when you have develope them when they were seven and now they are competing at a high level. 7 and 8 year olds play together and everyday in practice they are being developed and the rules state that you have to let them play. There are no kids on the FORUM its all adults so the kids are humble and respectfull in Beaumont! [b][size=12pt]Its some adults that has taken things to far!! [/size] [/b] There is nothing wrong with a lil smack talking. I can assure you my son do not know i am on this BLOG defending him working hard in everything he does. My son has had the pleasure of playing baseball and running track with his friends from Lumberton and I promise you he has never bragged about any of his accomplishments/non-accomplishments!! I haven't raised him that way!! he fully understand that the LORD GIVE AND HE TAKE AWAY!!! The mantality of being competetive has changed throughout the generations, when I played one of my coaches said they have the opportunity to practice and work hard just like you so whats really fair competition!! [/quote] Couldn't agree more! ;)

I never said a bad thing about the STJFL first of all and yes everyone has a mercy rule except some AAU Leagues. Every team has kids at the pee wee level that really dont want to be there so lets just keep it real. letting someone else play is not the problem, the problem is that same coach that you had mercy for now is trying to run over the kid that really dont want to be there. why didnt he do that before he was 28 down!! people like you want good teams/players in other leagues so you can get on and  bragg about something lil Johnny did!! its all for the kids so you say but when PNG G was putting 50 on people last year it was ok! Than you get personal, I can promise you my kid will compete with yours in anything from manners to the classroom and thats the way i raised him. Sports is just something we like its not our life and thats the way I raise him, anything else!! Be ready to explain to him why he didnt get that job he interviewed for when he gets the "we went in another direction" let him know its always about competing whether you believe it or not. Your right i have a hard time explaining to mine that being a loser is ok, that may be the difference between yours and mine!!! I just threw the OBAMA stuff in there because its all fun and games to me!! Well just for kicks and giggles i will start the twos and finished with the ones!! [/quote] I thought the idea of youth sports was to teach the kids basics and how to play the game competetive, fair, and learn to respect all opponents?  Shouldn't there be an emphasis on developing all players instead of just the 8 year old "studs" ?  Some youths today have lost the fine art of [b]being humble [/b] in their abilities and accomplishments, maybe that should become a focus as well?

And what did I say that gave you the idea I or we didn't like competing?  then...you compare me explaining the mercy rule to my son to you having a hard time explaining to your son its OK to be a loser?  The mercy rule is hardly for losers......... and I'm also not sure how I took your post wrong.......especially after your response...... no point in arguing, I have formed my opinion......and so have many ;) and nothing "hostile" with me (thats actually against forum rules :o...if we play by them 8) ).........

[quote name="jag86" post="1269242" timestamp="1347557567"] Thanks for understanding Gucci. Its not fun when you have to explain to your kids that they must come out of the game because of the mercy rule, which i totally have no problem with. Well yes i do, the other team still continues to play their ones against the twos and thats the problem i have. Is the mercy rule to let the other team get back into the game? or is it to develope the twos so one day they can become the ones. From my experience it has allowed the loosing coach the opportunity to tee off on your twos with their ones and thats where the injuries come into play. Theres no real solution to a mercy rule because i dont think no coach practice being up by 28+ points and if they do they are crazy or just plan cocky!! BMT G has a 7 yr old defense that plays every other series regardless of the score. Do you think they are coached to let people score on them, but we still have other teams with their ones still playing and they attempt to run our 7 yr olds smooth over. No juke move, no fall down, and no get out of bounds so should we have a mercy rule for the team that has put their twos in the game; like unsportsman like conduct etc. No because we call that good hard football, run someone over lil johnny your the man!! Just attempting to put all of this in order. The starting offense for BMT G average 12-15 plays a game!! Is that fair to them that the score quick! Life is not fair so being fair is a tough job for a volunteer coach!!! Its all about competing but for some reason we seem to lose that because of factors that have nothing to do with the kids. I watch a high school football game every Friday and the kids dont know how to win anymore!!SETX was know for their great football teams/players and I am assuming thats before any of these leagues were formed so lets not try to re-invent the system. A system has been put in place for years and it really does work!! Its called COMPETE and hard work pays off!! Not because daddy think you should win!!! Lets prepare the kids for the future and thats not OBAMA's fault either. LOL [/quote] Wow......well here's my 2 cents..........There are other leagues you can play for besides the STJFL. If you don't like the rules, go to another league and play by their rules. I have a feeling you will find fault in that as well.....no system or organization will be 100% perfect. And the only 2's (as you call it) you have to put in is the backfield. My Son has had to come out because of the score.  He was perfectly fine letting someone else play after I explained why we don't need to run up the score to 100. Not only is it respect to the other team, it also lets the 2nd string get REAL playing time in case a 1st string player gets hurt........ Maybe it's the way I raised him........ and maybe your having a hard time explaining it to your kids because you feel like you should run up the score?? and it's totally Obamas fault.......I'm starting to think HE was the one that blew up the Levees in New Orleans  ;)
