I agree, winning is fun.

it is not serious business.

Competing is fun. Winning is serious.

Back to normal today. No kids sports until the end of November so far. Be a nice break for a bit before basketball and wrestling start.

Yeah, I’ll never understand that mentality. I hear parents all of the time at gymnastics competitions.

“Oh, my God. Emmaleigh got a 7.9 on floor. Olympics here we come! She’s so amazing”

Fuck that. 7.9 is horrible. Find your kid a new hobby.

I mean, the kid obviously isn't going to be an Olympian, but aren't we supposed to also want kids to be active and not be fat asses? So, are all sports only supposed to be played by the very best?

Favorite Pixies song. Okay, go.

 

[ill]

That’s because you’re not competitive.

but I am. Playoffs every year, and usually in the running to win it every year.

 

[RobBase]

I flipping the Pixies.

They have recreational teams for that. Look, my two younger daughters are both gymnasts. The middle one is uber-competitive and competes on team. The younger one just wants to have fun, so she does it recreationally. Why do all of the training and travel if you’re not going to take it seriously?

how dare you inject false hopes into your shitty child's head, Guy!

there's no way she is going to the Olympics!

I should find a league of other lazy guys like that. Give myself a chance. This a work league?

again, this is not the same thing as fantasy sports.

which is all recreational

no

it's a casual league with friends.

it is all I have ever done.

some used to be for money...but again, I never stressed out about it like you guys do

You wouldn’t say that if you were actually competitive.

what is your definition of "competitive"?

 

[williewilliejuan]

what is your definition of "competitive"?

You play the game to win the game. Regardless of the game. Other outcomes are not acceptable.

I mean, is it your money they're wasting?

lol

again, it's fantasy sports.

don't take it so serious, bud. You will have a heart attack

They’re wasting my time. The competition is longer because we have to wait for their kid to fuck up their routine and then cry about it.

 

[ill]

Everything is super serious for Juan.

 

[williewilliejuan]

lol

again, it's fantasy sports.

It’s all good. I quit doing it. No sense playing if I’m not playing to win. You may have fun while losing, but I’m just not wired that way.
