Bloody New York Times…
…is always stealing my story ideas. Just yesterday, my friend forwarded me that image. My response was:
Remember when Boston fans (of all sports) were self-hating die-hards who put up with astoundingly horrible teams for decades and decades? But every year the lovable losers would buoy themselves on the eternal optimism that next season it would be different? Well, this kid shows the terrible effect that winning numerous baseball and football championships will have on a society. An entire generation of Bostonians has been lost to the arrogance of championship-entitlement.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: My kids are going to cheer for horrible teams—losing is far more character-building than winning.
Today, the New York Times tells us that your kids will turn out better if they lose at sports.
