To ensure every child 'wins', Ontario athletic association removes ball from soccer

According to Association spokesperson, Helen Dabney-Coyle, "By removing the ball, it's absolutely impossible to say 'this team won' and 'this team lost' or 'this child is better at soccer than that child.'"

"We want our children to grow up learning that sport is not about competition, rather it's about using your imagination. If you imagine you're good at soccer, then, you are."

As if merely not keeping score wasn't bad enough. This is beyond moronic. Life isn't easy nor is it fair, nor does it give a shit about you.... and that is what kids need to learn. Not this whole 'you are special even when you suck' stuff.

You've been punked, punk...

Canada Gloriously Punk’d By Network’s Story On Youth Soccer ‘No-Ball League’
The story originated in a CBC radio report, and predictably within 24 hours was all over the Internet: among the outlets to report it as true were the Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/5/just-pretend-ontario-youth-soccer-league-eliminate/#ixzz2e3t5uFFi) and USA Today (http://www.rantsports.com/clubhouse/2013/09/05/ontario-soccer-league-goes-ball-less/). Angry commenters are still flocking to message boards on several sites in protest of the “no-ball league”.
Of course by now you’ve guessed that the whole thing was a hoax. The CBC radio show that reported it, This Is That (http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2013/09/03/to-ensure-every-child-wins-ontario-athletic-association-removes-ball-from-soccer/), is a satire program. The story was presented on their web site on Wednesday with a photo of children playing soccer with no ball in sight, accompanied by a link to the audio of the report (http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2013/09/03/to-ensure-every-child-wins-ontario-athletic-association-removes-ball-from-soccer/#), which was broadcast today.
It was all fake, and America was bamboozled too (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/152/5/4/cletus__the_slack_jawed_yokel_by_leeroberts-d3ht7iq.png).

Marcus. Just had a funny thought.

I pictured "THE VILLAGE PEOPLE" spelling out "A" "R" "B" "O"...instead of "Y. M. C. A."

Arbo could be any one of these guys... but if I were a betting man, I'd bet Arbo was the biker gang guy.

Good point...

I hereby formally apologize to anyone with a 70's porn mustache, for comparing you to Arbo. You are all obviously more intelligent and better looking than the dumb ass who named himself after a woman's perfume.:laugh:
