Why aren't sports just for fun anymore?

A coach today was screaming and pulling some kids when they weren't doing what he told them. It was pee wee football, it was rough to watch. I mean it's just a game, why can't it just be for fun instead of making those poor kiddos cry? 😕 🤔

A lot of coaches were probably high school jocks who take sports way too serious.
Those guys have no business trying to nurture kids.

One of the clients I have to deal with occasionally is a 20 something year old athletic director at some middle school and I cannot stand dealing with him. He might as well have the word "Prick" tattoo'ed across his forehead. Too much energy and testosterone. Classic jock.
