9 year old banned from playing baseball because he's too good!

This is a prime example of WHY I despise the "Everyone is a winner." noise which schools are trying to push.

The kid is being punished for having talent and skill!

Way to go fuckwaffles! Punish someone that excels at something because he might wound the fragile lil self-esteem of the kids he plays against. Way to reinforce unity through mediocrasy.

If that was my kid ... I think you all know what would be happening.

I wish they'd go back to the, "Only some kids are winners; we can't all be NASA physicists, we need janitors and fry cooks too" methodology.

Well we do, but if that's all you do with your life, it's not anyone else's fault.

It's quite sad how the mediocre are praised and encouraged over those who actually might possess a few extra INT and WIS points.

...or too many GP.
