Case and Point.


Warning: Rocky wrote this, read at your own risk.


Gather 'round everybody and let me tell you a little story about a boy named Jericho Scott. Jericho is your typical 9 year old boy, loves to play with his friends, and play sports, especially baseball. Now when you're 9, you're coordination and motor skills are not necessarily at their peak, making sports sometimes awkward, but fun nonetheless. Jericho however is special. He has a great arm and a great pitching ability. He can throw a perfect strike at 40 mph! For a 9 year old, that is incredible. Now you can imagine that this kind of pitching ability can make hitting tough for the teams that face this young Nolan Ryan. Tough, not impossible! However, the league feels differently. Due to his extreme talent, the league administration has told Jericho and his coach that HE IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PITCH BECAUSE HE IS TOO GOOD!! Yeah, you read correctly, he is so good at pitching that they won't let him pitch. This is a PERFECT example of the WUSSIFICATION of AMERICA. We don't want the other kids to feel bad, so we punish the good kid. This is outright embarassing and disgraceful. This is exactly the mentality that has this country going down the road we're headed, and nobody is trying to stop it. Why not let him pitch and bring the other kids UP to his level, rather than punish him for being damn good. Can you imagine the confidence boost a kid would get once they did get a hit off of Jericho? America used to dominate all aspects of athletics, but once again, the "coddle the fat kid" mentality has crept its way back in to plain sight and nobody cares. Absolutely disgusting.
