Am I a horrible person for being in tears at the boy crying?

Being in tears, meaning being in tears from laughing or crying?

Now, why would I cry again?

Because he was really scared, and it was really cruel.

Isn't that a reason to LAUGH!?

I figured because you're older, and maybe more mature than that.

:o

:lmao:

You're joking right? I mean, I AM part of a sports/gaming forum.

Reading that entire couple of quotes, was hilarious.

Anyone who has ever played competitive, organized basketball knows how infuriating it is to guard a guy who keeps throwing elbows and pushing off and not getting called at all...to make matters worse, the black kid was probably getting called for even the slightest contact.

I don't blame him for slugging the white devil in the face...

There is no reason, ever, to do that to another human being. Certainly not during a GAME. Completely uncalled for, regardless of race.

That is like the Rudy Tomjanovich beating. I don't care if the other kid fouled him all game long and it never got called, you have to have some kind of self-restraint.

You've obviously never played basketball competitively.

How do you figure that? Because I can restrain myself from physically abusing someone else for no reason other than I am losing in a GAME?

It's a GAME. I can't say it any more clearly. It is meaningless unless you attach meaning to it, and to be honest, there are much, MUCH bigger, more important things out there than the outcome of an EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL GAME.

Grow up.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with caring that much about the outcome of the game. And I agree, a person should have self-restraint.

But, as I said, it is beyond infuriating to get elbowed and hit all game and have to deal with it, and then get called for every little thing you do. You feel helpless, and you get angry. Now, like you said, most people have self-restraint and know not to do something like punch the person, but this kid's in 8th grade...he doesn't have self-restraint yet. I'm sure you remember 8th grade, and I'm sure you look back at your 8th grade self and think "wow, he was an immature moron." I'm only 6 years removed from 8th grade and I already think that.

And, just for the record, my "white devil" line was sarcasm. ^_^

This event really speaks to the culture that has been created around sports. People have begun this hero worship of athletes even at the high school level and parents (especially) get wrapped up in this stuff way more than they should.

That turns into pressure for the kids and their priorities get screwed up because of it and they think losing a game is the end of the world because that's how their parents treat it.

"Oh, no, little Johnny won't get a scholarship because his eighth grade basketball team wasn't undefeated and he didn't average 25 points a game."

I'm sure the kid has some of those parental pressures and that doesn't help when you're developing as a person. That doesn't excuse the kid's actions (you have to know you can't just haul off and beat the hell out of another person just because you got elbowed a few times) -- he has to know right from wrong.

I don't break character until after the DVD commentary

Whenever I would take shots playing basketball or soccer, I would just make sure I got some good clean body contact in on the way back.

To start teeing off on some other kid because he threw a couple of elbows is not only primitive, but it shows this kid doesn't even have the mental capacity or willingness to get himself some retribution legally and respectably.

Whenever I would have someone throwing elbows at me all game, I'd make sure I got at least one good elbow-to-the-neck/chest/cheek in.

It always felt good, too. :yes:
