What is this world coming to? I have watched as we have seriously ruined sports at the youth and HS level.
First we went down the road of everyone gets a trophy. We didn't want to leave anyone out or hurt their feelings. Sign up and you get a trophy. Don't have to try hard, don't have to learn to play, don't have to do anything. Here's your trophy kid, your a winner.
Now the WIAA has decided that the chants that have been around for decades all of a sudden are bad. They are disrespectful and hurtful. I have watched generations of kids grow up to be fine outstanding citizens and they heard the chants. Yet now they are evil?
Maybe we should start teaching life lessons and quit trying to protect everyone's feelings. These kids need to start learning at a young age to grow thick skin, work hard and earn things. The WIAA isn't going to be there to protect you from things for the rest of your life.
There are some things that should be addressed. Lets quit going completely overboard.
The WIAA simply got this completely wrong. They have gone too far. They deserve the blowback that they are receiving. The problem is, they are so full of themselves that they won't even listen to reason.
