Advice from the coach

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball
players aside and asked, 'Do you understand what cooperation is? What a
team is?' The little boy nodded in the affirmative.


'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as
a team?' The little boy nodded 'yes'.


'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you
shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head, dickhead,
or asshole. Do you understand all that?' The little boy nodded 'yes' again.


He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play,
it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach "a dumb ass or " is it?'
The little boy shook his head 'NO'.


'GOOD', said the coach. 'Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother!'
