Quote:I am friends with families that have daughters who are very active in team sports, particularly basketball and softball. Their dedication rivals or exceeds their male peers, and their enthusiasm is infectious.


They are not raised as divas or treated special, that is the main difference. It is all about team.


Yeah Trav. This isn't some lingerie football your watching. It's a sport.

Lingerie football is terrible too.

I ran an athletic association that hosted both baseball and softball, and I can attest to the fact that the parents who had daughters participating in softball were some of the most dedicated I've ever dealt with.  They showed up for their games, they were always positive in the way they supported the team, and they cleaned up after themselves, which was nice. 

 

The kids were very much about team and dedication.  There weren't any divas, although there were clearly some who were better than others.  But, unlike baseball where you've got the dugout parents who think their little Johnny has a ticket to the bigs as long as he can throw a curve by the time he's 10, these girls really formed a cohesive unit.  That followed them right up into high school and some to college. 

 

Meanwhile, one of the kids who was on the track to play in the big leagues actually changed the oil in my truck at the dealership the other day.  I guess he's working on his spitter.
