Re: Yet another reason to avoid little league

This reminds me of the hockey coach who abused boys in the 1970's~90's at Maple Leaf Gardens.
So much for machoman, more like sick freaks

Re: How to make an entire baseball team shit in their pants.

I studied Shodan Karate for about two years. We learned how to defend ourselfs in trains, buses, or on the street. We even learned how to protect ourselves if attacked by 4 people. 3 in front, 1 behind. The tanton (dirk) fighting was where I really paid attention especially since I teach in elementa...

Re: Hockey's pretty cool.

I couldn't care less about hockey, and being a Canadian, I'm in the extreme minority.
What really turned me off were the Stanely Cup riots back in the 1990's as well as the NHL strike where the players went on strike over wages!
Enough said.

Re: Hockey Night In Canada

Ah yes, my favorite memory of Don Cherry was when the gay actor from Kids in the Hall, sat on his lap and cuddled him on the Ralph Benmergi(sp) show back in the 1990's. It really put him in his place. And while I'm ranting on this, it used to severely piss me off when I was a kid growing up in rural...

Re: Hockey's pretty cool.

Right, where can I start with my opinion on hockey. 1) The cost. Trying to get a uniform together, with all the equipment probobly costs a good chunk of a child's university education. 2) The fanaticism about hockey. I mean, when the playoffs are going on it's all anyone wants to talk about. The wor...

Re: Nerds? I don't THINK SO!

Wow it is amazing how a thread can really go off target.
I suppose I'm a nerd. I wear glasses, plaid shirts, hate sports, am into intellectual stuff, but I don't believe I am one.

Re: Introductions

Sorry to hear of a tramatic event in your life. I never faced hazing in school due to my hatred of sports but did suffer bullying because I was overweight and also some students didn't like my father as he was one of the teachers. Being overseas, it's also sometimes difficult to socialize with other...

Re: Introductions

Hello all, my name is Rod Redden. I put another thread on a different topic but I'll give you the low down on me. I'm currently an English as a Foreign Language teacher in Tokyo, Japan. I previously worked in South Korea as well. I was NEVER in any sports as both my dad and I can't stand them. The o...

Re: I was a disappointment to my father

Luckily, both my father and I hate sports. We just never understood why it was so damm important. My biggest disappointement as a kid, was when our Cubscout troop was disbanded as all the boys in town wanted to only play floor hockey or hockey. None of them could find there way out of a wet paperbag...

The sport I liked wasn't cool enough

Finally, I have found people of a like mind of myself, I HATE SPORTS. And as a Canadian, not liking hockey is tantamount to treason. The only sport which I did was competitive target shooting, but bringing that up after all those school shootings was not a good converstation starter. The only other ...
