STJFL= Scared of Titans Junior Football League There.  I said it. 

You know, I'd written another long-winded response to the racial issue, but I think I'll let it slide.  Good luck, Titans.

BigTitan, This isn't the time or place for a discussion on race, but since we're here.... It's comical for sensible people to watch our black friends try to defend their ruffled feathers over the "n-word" when you've probably got a hundred songs on your iPod that use that "horrible, offensive" word.  If black people really found that word offensive, we wouldn't know who Kanye West is.  Period.  The fact that y'all get so offended if a seven-year old white kid drops that bomb is amazing, considering that YOUR race worships guys who drop it all of the time.  In fact, I'd dare say that you, BigTitan, in all probability use it when you're in the company of your black friends. The real racists aren't seven year olds that use words like that or queer or whatever.  The real racists are grown-ups that look for the slightest possibility that race might be the major driving force behind all of the issues in life that are found to be unfavorable.  Whether it's white folks moaning about blacks on welfare or black folks moaning about whites keeping em' down. I think you cleared up how you feel, and how I've always suspected a lot of folks feel, when you said "[b]but hearing some stories that were told to me, CERTAIN people would have REASON to Hate another.[/b] 

I really felt for the Father who had to explain to his kid what those racist young white kids meant when they were dropping N bombs out there.  It made me think back to the time that I had to explain the N word to my kid....  "Look, Mike jr..... It's a horrible word used by some people to call a black person that points out centuries of unjust treatment and enslavement.  It's also a word used by rap artists to sell m-m-m-millions of  CDs, but that's different."  There's two different sets of rules, ain't there, One4all? I'm way off track, so forgive me.  Later.

....or maybe you don't understand the difference between 1.  Drafting through a pool of kids and forming three (hopefully competive) teams from one metro area. 2.  Having all of the kids from the same area come together, tryout, then selecting the best thirty or so kids to play on a single team and sending everybody else home.  It's funny that the PA League chose not to let a bunch of their own kids play, and is now crying that their "chosen few" aren't allowed to play, either. 

There's a HUGE difference...... One city might have three teams like PNG, where you might have a coach's kid or two that are automatically going on a team, plus drafting through the rest of the kids taking the good along with the bad.  Some teams will end up with a game changer or two, other teams will have suspect coaching.... the teams' records will be varied. That's COMPLETELY different than having tryouts with God only knows how many kids are available, then selecting only the cream of the crop to represent your metropolitan area.  I mean, if you want to play select-style ball, then cherry-pick a team play select ball with a league of your choosing. PA asked to join the STJFL, ignored the rules that were in place long before they asked to be included, and now want to act butt-hurt that they aren't being included going forward.  It doesn't have anything to do with PA's kids or the way that they play, for that matter.  It's all about the PA board's unwillingness to follow league rules and guidelines. Good luck in whatever league you choose to play in next year.

I think all of the posts from Titan Fan about the whole league being "scared of the talent" and "racially motivated" (my paraphrasing, btw) are laughable.  We watched the STJFL Titans (not just one team, but several), and while they were successful, I don't think ANYBODY was scared of playing them.  In fact, the only people that I saw scared were the PA folks watching their Senior team play BC when their QB got the wood laid on him by Justyn Romero.  Close game, considering we took every kid that wanted to play from little ol' 6k population BC and hung with the hand-selected "best" from 48k population PA.... That was also the only day we saw the police at an STJFL game... One of the PA fans got ejected for cursing a ref, then refused to leave.  The police had to escort him.  Seems like he didn't understand the concept of "rules" either.  And as far as the local 4a schools being scared to play the Titans... We're not scared of the game, we're just scared to walk back to the car at your stadium after the game.  Right, WB?

It amazes me that anything I say gets edited, but calling people queers is okay, as long as it's not mikelbene that's doing it..... I wish I was a mod so that I could bully people from my pc.... Loser.

"let's go [b]Beach[/b]" Oh.  That's not what I thought you were yelling.....

Do y'all remember when all of the Nederland and PNG honks were moaning and groaning about having to drive ALL THE WAY UP THERE to Livingston to play when the visitors' stands only hold 142 people and they don't even have a parking lot?  How did that final score look on your big, new, shiny, 1 m-m-m-MILLION dollar scoreboard, Indians? I think that Livingston OWNS the right to be called the winner of Mid-County Madness for 2010!  Go Lions!

Um.... how can I say this without ruffling any feathers.... WOS got exposed by Lumberton last weekend.   If anyone can help me find a way to state that fact in a manner that won't offend anyone from WOS, I'd appreciate it.  

Boo hoo. ***** this post will be deleted in three.....two.....one........***********
