Sports build character? Mhmm...

[BDSPORTS08]

I stumbled across this website, and am shocked at the off base topics and conclusions that most of you have drawn. I grew up playing sports, made dozens of friends from the games and can proudly say it built CHARACTER!

I gained confidence and personality, it made me the person I am today with the ability to work in a team environment and interact successfuly. I currently work in sports, own a small business and remain in great shape playing adult leagues.

Give things a true look before you bash them based on your poor experiences playing.

"off base"

exactly the term to describe these guys

overweight=fat

either way, don't let yourself go too much. You try to take on a healthier lifestyle. Especially only being in 8th grade.

People like you are the reason people like me eat too much [drive me up the f*ckin' wall].

Oh wait, check it out! Detroitsportsfan is taking advantage of [possibly] the youngest member on here! That's weak, calling the youngest "fat".
Ray, see that? What's next, calling me "four eyes" or a "nerd"?

[Detroitsportsfan08]

not taking advantage of anyone

I'm just saying being overweight isn't something to be proud of

Being an overpaid doofus who thinks they can do what they want, when they want isn't either.

Yes, it's shameful and evidence of how sports do not build character. He's all about sports which supposedly build good character and yet bullies the youngest member of our forum... I thought I'd seen it all! tsk tsk.. shameful!

I guess this topic has been closed. This is irrefutable proof that sports do not develop good character!
