Will You Make Your Daughter Cut The Grass? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Operation Sports is NOT a website for you to bitch and moan about sports gaming.
That's not the meaning of constructive criticism.

Re: Will You Make Your Daughter Cut The Grass?

If I had a daughter, then no, I would not make her cut the grass. Call me whatever name you choose, but no, she wouldn't have to cut grass unless I or my sons were physically unable to.

PS: You guys are great.

Who is to say that you will have a daughter AND a son. How about if you got all females Tate Robinson?

Re: Will You Make Your Daughter Cut The Grass?

I have a girl and yes, when she reaches the age where she can push the lawnmower, she will cut the grass. As well as shovel snow. 2 of the most tedious chores ever. What the hell do you think kids are for?

For those saying you dont want a girl, watch you have a girl. There is a reason why females outnumber males. You guys keep wishing for boys.

Re: Will You Make Your Daughter Cut The Grass?

I can understand making your son do the grass, but why your daughter? I could just do it myself. I rather have my daughter wash the dishes or dust. Maybe she can sweep that **** up after I'm done.

Cutting grass is'nt like fixing stuff around the house. It requires no skill to hold a handle in place and push. If I was a stickler for having my lawn kept up to the highest quality, then I'd do it myself. But if I barely put much concern about the weeds and dirt patches in my yard, she can knock that out. She doesn't even have to be thorough about it. As long as its presentable. If I had a boy and a girl that would be different. Since I only have 1, she's gonna have to pick up on some chores that are typically made for boys. Nothing extreme like handling tools but she will have to get dirty at times.

Re: Will You Make Your Daughter Cut The Grass?

I see a lot of comments about not wanting girls and that's a shame.

I'd love to have a daughter. You can say what you want about not wanting a MySpace whore but you can't avoid the inevitable.

You'll have just as much trouble and problems with a boy. Should I assume that if I had a son he'd be knocking up every girl on the block and asking daddy for help with child support?

"It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

I'd rather have a boy, but I'm not going to say I don't want a girl.

If I have a girl, though...she's going to be a tomboy. I need someone to teach how to play soccer.

Yea, my girl will know what a Nickel, Dime, 4-3 and 3-4 formation is before she's 5. I wont totally rob her of her feminimity, but she will know that a player needs to get benched when he reaches his 2nd foul in the first quater.

Why can't she cut the grass?

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Cuz I have 2 already Derek Chang American. Being an optimist, I don't see that changing. So again, if I were to have a daughter, she wouldn't have to cut any grass, her big brothers or her father would.

I don't get why it's a big deal for a girl to cut the grass.
