We had a minor altercation at the district title game for our 9-10 year old last night. One thing I learned from the last playoffs we had pre-covid. The encouraging friendly atmosphere of a intra league game disappears once you start competing inter league at the district, sectional, and state levels. Like screaming to distract a kid on the opposing team from catching a ball different.

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
