This makes me sick to my stomach. 

 

The story should be "Team chooses players to carry US and First responder Flags onto pre-game Field. Players, based on their performance at the previous week's practice, are chosen by coaches and teammates to have the Honor of leading team onto field carrying US and First Responder Flags"

Next we'll see "Players set school and field ablaze before game. Receive "full ride college scholarships and inducted into School's Hall of Fame".

I have several thoughts about this story I’ll just keep to myself. As to the when, it started around November 2008.

Call the school leave message.

It started about the time the people in charge of the school’s took away the teachers paddles and started giving participation ribbons. As the years have passed those same children became the new teachers and school boards. A steady decline to what we have now.

      To the students from he czar. Here is the list you must follow. Large print half a page. Here is the list of stuff you must Never do. Fine print on onion skin that totally fills 3  53 foot dry vans. What's next-No more playing of The National Anthem?  And as an aside yer Not allowed to see the list of never do's cuz even reading that list will git ya executed. 
       All this bull kaka going on now reminds me-sadly-of coming home to CONUS after my first deployment to Nam. It weren't nice then and it has NOT mellowed with age. WHY on Earth are so many folks Willing to give it ALL away so easily?  RIDE SAFE.
