Life is full of trick plays and life isn't fair you stupid whimpering whining pussy. Better the kids learn to watch for them now than when they're grown up or they'll end up with someone like Barack Obama for President.

Now shut the fuck up and gimme your fucking lunch money.



Trickery On The Football Field: Like Child Abuse?
(NPR)- By now, you may be among the millions of people who’ve seen on YouTube the trick football play pulled off by the Driscoll Middle School of Corpus Christi, Texas.

If you’ve been watching President Obama abroad or otherwise wasting your time, here’s what happens: Driscoll breaks out of the huddle, and the quarterback lines up over the ball. From the sideline, the assistant coach calls out that Driscoll deserves a five-yard penalty.

At this point, the Driscoll center casually hands the ball over his shoulder to the quarterback. This is perfectly acceptable, even though we know that the center invariably delivers the ball through his legs.

The quarterback then takes the ball and starts to walk off five yards himself, as the opponents look on, confused. Then, clear of the opposition, the quarterback suddenly breaks into a run and dashes 67 yards for a touchdown.

The play is legal, and just about everybody who has seen it gets a real hoot out of it. In one online poll, 92.1 percent of those who voted said the play was genius.

Well, it isn’t funny, and it isn’t right.

….But the Driscoll team didn’t act instinctively to try to put one over on a ref. The middle schoolers didn’t even come up with the ruse. Their coach dreamed up the play, and even participated in it, hollering from the sideline. The referees weren’t victimized. In fact, they had to play along.

No, it was only the other team’s kids who were embarrassed and belittled by a children’s coach being a wise guy, a bully of sorts. It wasn’t genius at all; rather, it was a form of child abuse. Sure, it was legal, but it wasn’t fair.

Laugh at kids being outslicked by a grown-up, and you’re cruel. That isn’t sport.
