Default Re: Why soccer is the best sport for kids

not keeping score reminds me of this annoying gym-teacher from elementary school I had.
We would be playing basketball or softball or whatever and it would be a close, exciting game towards the end of the class.
If one side got a hit to tie the score at 7-7 then he would blow the whistle and stop class a minute or two early and declare that "It's a tie...So EVERYBODY WINS!!!"

Naturally, the whole class wanted to kill him.

Amusingly, this teacher's name was Richard Simmons but thankfully it wasn't THAT Richard Simmons.
