As we all know high schools allow inter gender matches in this sport. While most matches are decided fairly with boys winning the majority of contests, there have been some where girls were given an unfair advantage by the referees. Because of this, the girls 'won' those matches.<br /><br />A while ago there was a video in youtube which showed where girls tried to get an advantage by pinching the boy in the groin. Several got away with it. Somehow everyone in the stands saw the infraction except for the referee who awarded the win to the girl. I don't know if that video is still available on YT. On still another video, a boy has a girl's shoulders pinned to the mat for five seconds - but the referee refuses to call a pin. The boy got very frustrated. Then after another minute the girl turned it around and the referee immediately called a pin in her favor. The boy graciously shook her hand afterwards though he was clearly robbed of a fair call and win.<br /><br /><br />But wrestling is hardly unique among scholastic sports. I have read in high school field hockey games where girls routinely hit boys in the groin with their sticks. In one instance (I believe this was in summer league series) a girl purposefully struck a boy in the head with her stick and he was rendered unconscious. He woke up hours later in a hospital. I do not know what the consequences were thereafter or if his mother sued the municipality or the league. But I do understand he did play again shortly after that unhappy event.<br /><br />Kids need to learn good sportsmanship and that helps lead to good citizenship. But the adult officials need to set the table properly as do parents. If youths fail to live up to the proper standards, then it is because adults fail to set a good example. I am glad to see that the coaches mentioned by Sarah's daughter did set a good example. Now let's hope all other coaches do the same.<br /><br /><br />By the way, in my 20+ years of coaching baseball and softball I have tried to set a good example though by my own admission, I have fallen short of the ideal example. Luckily for me, one parent recently called me a good sportsman - that was nice to see! :)Tripplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568801152695491482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-23741666432768387082016-03-24T14:10:10.487-05:002016-03-24T14:10:10.487-05:00Why are worship leaders always effeminate/androgyn...Why are worship leaders always effeminate/androgynous?Jacobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-28123272180109886652016-01-27T09:01:55.547-06:002016-01-27T09:01:55.547-06:00I answered you in a new post.

Specif...I have been thinking over this post lately. Specifically this part:<br /><br />"A husband and wife team came to audition together and compete with each other. Something I would highly advise a wife to NEVER do."<br /><br />I am curious about what you would suggest if the roles were reversed in a marriage and the wife had any undeniable talent where it was clear that she is far better than her husband. I understand not competing at a national level against him in something like american idol but what about more everyday stuff? If a wife is noticeably far better than her husband at something, should she not do it if it is obvious that it might affect his ego or affect him negatively in any way?

We never watch American Idol and so for some reason we did that night but just as he auditioned and so I never heard hers! I was thinking how ridiculous it was for her to blame it on him distracting the judges. <br /><br />I really do not like losing arguments and I rationalize that my husband just didn't understand my point or else he would have came to my side. This, of course, is something I have comitted to working on but I know I will always struggle in this way.<br /><br />One last thing, beings we are on the topic of tv shows, I have noticed that Pat Sajak can really say some dismissing things to Vanna when she is speaking at the end of the show and yet she shows eloquence and constantly smiles at him. If you contrast that with some female judges on the singing shows nowadays lol! I have watched her many times at the end of their show and remembered how stupid it is for me to get offended when my husband picks on me. I really like Vanna.

I sure hope (and it would be immensely valuable to that wife if) this is an awakening for him and not a time when he acquiesces to her.

...This is an excellent comment...so many things...<br /><br /><i>You have to be incredibly selfish for that strategy to work</i><br /><br />From a man's perspective this is true, it would have to be a selfish strategy. To a woman it is not a plan, it is not thought out nor contemplated. It's just in there. So while men learn the strategies of relational success (one of the most important being the abundance mentality), women need to deprogram their preset inclinations. Winning the Alpha brings with it a myriad of other challenges and responsibilities (much to their surprise). And, like the cute little wife in my post, most women should carefully analyze if they have the inner strength and integrity within them to even be in the running.

That wrestling coach knew that he needed your team to compete against in order to judge the progress of his team, and that bad competition makes bad judges. That's why rules matter so much: winning for the sake of winning isn't always the point. Women really only care about the final score and how it affects them. The competition for alpha men is fierce, and the only thing, and I mean the only thing, that matters is whether or not you won him. You have to be incredibly selfish for that strategy to work. Since men don't have to be so cutthroat in their dating, they can relax a bit and shake hands. There will always be another girl, and match.Eduardo the Magnificentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-6912946454804361672016-01-07T16:47:49.998-06:002016-01-07T16:47:49.998-06:00The difference between them when they were watchin...The difference between them when they were watching eachother was huge. He was supporting her and loving on her, he looked so proud of his wife while she was singing. When he sang, she looked at him like that girl we all know who hates you but always talks in such a sweet voice. <br /><br />I wouldnt be surprised if he decided not to go after all. She was laying on the guilt trip thick at the end. If this would have ended up the other way around you can tell he would have been so excited for her that at least one of them got in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
