Harvard Cancels Men's Soccer Team Season

11/30/2016

5 Comments

 
​Has political correctness kicked the stuffing out of Harvard’s Men’s soccer team? The team was in first place in the Ivy League but because it ranked the Harvard’s female soccer team in appearance and guessed as to proclivities for sexual-position activities, the President of the University, Drew Faust, in super-high dudgeon, clotheslined, knee-capped, drop kicked and otherwise booted the crap out of the boys. They’ve landed in the trash.

And for what? For being dumb, stupid boys. Seriously, are there any other kinds?

No matter.

Some would argue that this isn’t political correctness run amok so much as it is a sense of decency for these young men in short supply. We’ll come back to that.

Don’t forget Harvard is the institution whose faculty voted no-confidence, in part because, a previous President, Larry Summers, had the temerity to utter an incorrect opinion when he said maybe the aptitude of women for engineering and science was lacking, compared to men.

Perhaps innate differences existed between the sexes. Oh no! Not palatable, not politically correct: hey-ho Summers has got to go!

So Summers resigned. If he had been a sniveling surrender-cheese monkey weasel he could have blamed his intemperate words on it being a Friday, a more relaxed, laid back, let-the-banter-fly kind of day – especially after noon – but he didn’t. More power to him – although he tried to squirrel out of what he said a little bit.  He said his talk was a “purely academic exploration of hypotheses.”

Yet somehow, miraculously, he survived the politically correct Harvard University harassing him out of Dodge. He He-Manned himself to becoming a managing partner in a hedge fund company, became a sought-after public speaker on matters financial for heavy hitting investment firms and, incredibly enough, even was deemed employment-worthy of Barack Obama’s White House when he was hired as the Director of the United States Economic Council.

Wow - even oh-so politically correct Barack Obama isn’t as politically correct and hidebound as Harvard.

Speaking of dumb and stupid - and intentionally misleading - the soccer kids have nothing on Liz Mineo’s article in the Harvard Gazette titled: Fear among some immigrants. Apparently illegal aliens (called undocumented immigrants in the piece, which is analogous to calling a store robber an undocumented shopper) are afraid because they might get in heck for BREAKING THE COUNTRY’S CITIZENSHIP LAWS. Immigrants come to the USA legally. They have nothing to fear.

Sigh.

Back to booting the boys for being boors.

The first paragraph should be edited for clarity. These guys are out because other Harvard soccer sorts, back in 2012, were into rating the fairer sex for their physical attributes.

Which brings up an ethical conundrum that Harvard clearly missed the boat on. (Didn’t most of us sentient souls, in the past few decades, come to an unspoken, yet fairly firm, understanding and agreement that offspring today shouldn’t pay for family and friends and strangers mistakes of yesterday?) 

So 31 soccer team boys-becoming-men (one from Mexico, a guy from Germany, and a bloke from Nigeria) have had their successful season stopped because of a few, maybe many, perhaps all - of that 2012 team being engaged in acts (both verbal and pictorial) of analysis and assessment, of debate and deliberation, that resulted in thinking and looking and reporting on female footballers the “wrong” way. They should have, judging by Harvard’s treatment of Summers for his thoughts on variances between XX’s and XY’s, chromosomeically chatting - viewed and deemed the women exactly the same as themselves.

(Let’s leave apart from this discussion of how Harvard bigwigs would countenance separate soccer leagues for girls and guys if no innate, intrinsic differences can be found between the two.)

Here is the counter argument: Many argue that this isn’t political correctness run amok so much as it is a sense of decency sadly in short supply for these young men and thus the cancellation of the remainder of the 2016 season is warranted. Especially so, Harvard avers, because this rating “scouting report” atrocity carried into, and was carried on by, the 2016 team and worse yet – the boys "were not immediately forthcoming about their involvement..."

It is not clear whether all the boys of the 2016 took part. The phrase “team members” is used which means a plurality but doesn’t necessarily mean the whole team. But if guys who didn’t take part, had enough members in its group to form a squad – why wouldn’t they be allowed to play out the season? Why should they be punished for something they took no part in?

For its part, some of the women from the targeted soccer team went whole-hog, reaching for the outer limits in describing their pain. They declared they were “beyond hurt.”

What is beyond hurt? Agony maybe, pain probably, wretched-wrenched-kvetched certainly. But why doesn’t the word, hurt, do? Are they that soft, that tender, that incapable of handling ignorance - and malice - and the slings and arrows of outrageous remarks cast their way? Given that they played competitive sports and went to a university, even if it was Harvard, surely they should have enough backbone, grit, guts, and balls to put up with tawdry, tacky, crude, lewd, rancid, puerile, sexist stupidity and nonsense.

For its part, the men’s soccer team is “beyond disappointed” in having the season cancelled.

As for punishment what does cancelling the season teach – especially for those on the team that may have had NOTHING TO DO with this?

So the men are done - but now they’re totally going to beyond bummed out. For having ignorant, impure thoughts, they have to be purified via re-education school! “The Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response will work to “further educate” the men’s soccer team specifically and student-athletes generally...” 

Here’s another kick in the teeth. While rude boys are being punished, Harvard will protect criminals (illegal aliens) attending its school.
​
That’s beyond ignorant. It’s immoral. And illegal.

Posse On...Phil Jackson and LeBron James

11/22/2016

0 Comments

 
​LeBron James is properly pissed Phil Jackson described his coterie as a posse. Because James is African American, the assumption is that a posse doesn’t mean a sheriff’s group out to track down lawbreakers, but signifies a bunch of leeching losers, lurking about.

Phil’s gone posse twice now. First time was back in 2004 in his book (The Last Season) when he described LeBron’s posse as possible girl-and-car fetchers and the second time was weeks ago when he quoted Pat Riley referring to James as having a posse.

LeBron should actually feel sorry for Phil. James has painstakingly built up a team of loyalists WHO ARE CAPABLE, which is more than Jackson has done with the Knicks. LeBron, himself, somehow thrived after humble beginnings of being raised by a 16-year-old mother. He has an identity as a hands-on benefactor to those less fortunate. Is Zen Master Phil Jackson playing a dummy on purpose in ignoring LeBron's past and present?

So LeBron panned Phil. Quite possibly he’s upset that non-African Americans might see his entourage as a bunch of goofs, rather than (and this is but another definition of posse) “a cluster of like-minded associates.” James, being in the NBA superstar spotlight for 14 years now, has to know people will think what they’re going to think. He’s got broad shoulders, should be no skin off his back...
 
However,
 
James thinks the use of the word posse by Phil is racially charged.
 
LeBron added: “But it's still sad, though, to see that people at the top always want to try to put guys in power down." True or False? Could be both. For sure it’s a dog-eat-dog world at the top, but just as often as not those at the top form a buddy-huggy club intent on having familiar faces remain there, if only for convenience, comfort, and stability.
 
At any rate, Google’s not touching this posse predicament with a ten-foot pole. Googling: Superstar athletes and posses has the search engine suggesting “possess”, not “posse.”
But a search engine must give results - so the 1st answer talks of great athletes being fan favorites on social media with the 2nd dealing with high standards, what makes them tick, and the 3rd explaining “super focus.”  To be charitable - Google has gone the ambivalent route.
 
Detroit Pistons coach, Stan Van Gundy, is leaning to the bastion of identity-politics while wantonly surrendering to the hot-air pressure barometer of hurt feelings - to dictate what words can be used, and when, and by who. He says because James is from a minority, and is offended by the term that folk’s like Phil, who is from a majority, uses – Phil has to retract. (For what it's worth, Stan liked Hillary Clinton.)
 
The impact of words, over time, have changed - as race, class, and gender have boiled their way to the top of the societal acceptance-and-awareness stew.  Way back when - posse, as mentioned above, was associated with America’s west where the white sheriff, would gather up a posse of whites to capture criminals.  Later - and it’s hard to say exactly how, when, where, and why - this came about, the word posse became associated with African Americans and their inner circle. LeBron’s right to be sensitive to this - for his loyalty to competent pals from his childhood is endearing. Indeed, he should be commended.
 
But should Jackson be condemned? Yes, the word was unfortunate, given that America’s racial fabric is seemingly coming apart at the seams, but LeBron, nevertheless, has to realize that everybody should be able to choose words they want to – so long as the word doesn’t have a singularly, universally understood connotation of racism, sexism etc - a word, that posse, in no way, has.

Perhaps recent-painful political sensitivities are impacting on LeBron’s reactions. He, like Stan, supported Hillary in the 2016 Presidential election – and to have - whom many view as a racist, white-guy Donald J. Trump - - - carousing around as the arousing triumphant troubadour Republican elephant - may be a sore point for he. Of course LeBron detractors (and there are many: remember when he was voted the most unpopular athlete years back for “The Decision” to bolt Cleveland for the sunnier climes of the Miami Heat?) would say if LeBron assumes that the word posse means gang, or thugs, or homies, that’s his problem – have a point.

Still, small wonder LeBron’s bent a bit out of shape on this. The guy, and this is just one example of his charitable deeds, is actively and financially working with poorer – yet hungry – in the good sense of that word - kids in Akron - - - to give them their chance at a post-secondary education.

He walks the walk when it comes to giving back to the community, not so much to burnish his image, but because he absolutely wants to build a sustainable platform from which kids can excel.  Specifically, and graciously his foundation will spend 41 million+ to create scholarships for 1,100 of those Akron kids to go to the University of Akron for 4 years.

Probably LeBron should remind himself: Phil Jackson can be a jackass, is an equal opportunity offender and likes to poke bears in his spare time. When he mattered, Phil flam·béed Shaq, Kobe, Durant, and Nash.

So far, regarding posse-gate, Phil hasn’t backed down, nor should he. Granted, Phil and LeBron could get together and discuss diction, words, meaning, contexts, perceived slights – but any agreement, any grammatical gesture that came to be - would offend somebody, somewhere - so why bother?

Phil Jackson’s tenure as President of the NY Knicks has been terrible. LeBron James tenure as a NBA player has been terrific. But despite their widely divergent career paths, it is LeBron who needs to brush this off. Posse used, misconstrued, deemed as rude - or deemed a perfectly-suited word – IS NOTHING. Please get over this - lest we all lose like we did - with the TOTAL dicks - the NFL and Kaepernick.

Democratic Party, liberals, Lefties Mad about Donald Trump!

11/16/2016

0 Comments

 
Trump won. Democratic Party members, liberals, and lefties are pissed. They, plus the main-stream media, Hollywood, and academia: losers up and down the ticket - are losing it.

James Dearen writes for the Associated Press. His headline of November 11th was doomsday: How President Donald Trump Will Kill the Environment.

An angry Latino woman said we have to honor the air, then, seconds later, at her protest, a fire-smoke-faced effigy of Trump was lit. Protesters proved, while boosting noise pollution, that they could also chime - not my president.

Impetus behind the TV show, on a faux West Wing, Aaron Sorkin, regretted he couldn’t prevent this horror. Politically-left comedians, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, did loser-no-clap monologues after finding out other folks don’t think their way.

Some Californians from a state that used to be – 55 years ago – an innovator – want to separate from the USA, aggrieved illegals aren’t feted. Trump should encourage the separation (but be mindful that other parts of California want to separate from those that revere illegals.) For sure Texas will be, as it has been for years now, the beneficiary of California’s brightest high-tailing to it.   
   
French ambassador to the USA, Gérard Araud, thought Trump’s win and the UK’s Brexit meant the world was collapsing, while Mexico is aghast at having countless of its citizens return. International diplomatic and economic heavyweight, Kenya, if scribe Macharia Gaitho is bang on, said the country would have to reassess its relations with the USA. 

American race baiter i.e. Democratic Party backer, Al Sharpton, compared Trump’s politics to that of Democratic Party, Alabama Governor, George Wallace’s.

Students and teachers of Berkeley High School chanted “Fuck Trump” as they careened about town. One slogan said “We ain’t gonna stop till our people are free.” Somehow sloganeers, free to write atrociously, and free to exercising their rights as cement-heads obviously, meant - conclusively - people weren’t free.
 
The Los Angeles Unified School District, thanks to taxpayers, got counseling for distraught (mentally disturbed?) students. Board President Steve Zimmer euphemistically called same “additional supports.” Steve described his schools as the anchors of our neighborhoods. (Did he, unintentionally “signal” they are dead weights?) He was also proud that teachers and school leaders listened to students. Parents, however, probably wanted students to listen to teachers - to learn not “liberal-thought-civil rights nonsense-rot gut ” but to discern non-political laws and theories - embodied in maths and sciences - commonsense stuff.

Some protestors thought it smart to block parts of the Hollywood Freeway the day after Trump’s victory. One 16-year old summed it up best/worst, saying they were “...trying to do something...” The student also admitted to being obsessed with trying to figure out what demographic groups supported which candidates.

The Muslim Brotherhood, an organization some countries define as a group of terrorists, called Trump a racist and said his win was a disaster for the Muslim world. (Up until Trump, of course, things had been hunky-dory for the Muslim world.)

Weirdly, or maybe not weirdly, considering it was MSNBC, that station had a headline on November 11th, that said Trump was either in debt or was running for re-election.

For dumbfounded (certifiable) Democrat supporters, certified therapy dogs – Golden Doodles, Eskimos, and at least one Heinz variety were, thanks go to the Human Animal Bond Research Initiative, Pet Partners, and the Pet Leadership Council AND the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, brought into Washington to walk around the Cannon Office Building.

The University of Massachusetts Boston also served dogs up to simmer things down. An economics professor at Yale made his mid-term optional. Milpitas High School Principal Phil Morales was put on leave for allegedly swearing about The Donald. He’s worried about Mexicans and Muslims.

Whoopi Goldberg said much – most of it as clear as mud:  
“So it makes you not want to have the conversation…because what you make me feel like is I’m not — I’m not — what I’m saying doesn’t make any sense when I’m telling you this is why I feel like this and this is what’s happening and this is why.”

Amanda Marcotte is not happy. She termed Trump’s becoming President- a Misogyny Apocalypse.

MSNBC contributor, Anand Giridharadas, essentially blamed white guys for the mess liberals find themselves in. He said white people resented being mocked by the future...and he advocated doing more “George Orwell.”

Liar Brain Williams, now on MSNBC, lamented that Trump and the Republicans now have single party rule.  Brian, as is his wont however, couldn’t hold off from lying again when he said Trump won without women or minorities.

Author and MSNBC show host, Chris Hayes, a white guy, accused whites that supported white-guy Trump Republicans as being racists. Presumably they should have voted for white-woman, Hillary. Then all would have been ok. Senator Jeff Merkley from Portland said protests resulted from Trumpian attacks on virtually all aspects from society and declared the vacant Supreme Court seat was being stolen. He also thought deporting 11 million illegals was beyond the pale.

Gotta feel sorry for the Left. They’ve been sitting ducks, force fed through most American schools of what to think. They’ve been borne and brought up in an inculcation of liberal, politically correct orthodoxies. But - indoctrination is not education.

Though Trump, in some policy prescriptions is more liberal than Clinton, he’s not politically correct. He doesn’t believe whites are inherently privileged or inherently racist. He’s got nothing against Christians generally or evangelicals specifically – and this is anathema to Obama Democrats who believe Christians are to be scorned and taken to court. (They really like those from The Religion of Peace, however.)
​
So now the Left is left as deer in the headlights, looking at the Trump train coming in. Gotta be tough. They should take some solace, however. Their “elites” Huffington Post, Politico, VOX, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS (even Fox to an extent) have been humbled and stunned to a far greater degree.

Jaromir Jagr, Hockey's Hallowed - Eternal - Hero.

11/9/2016

4 Comments

 
In a few weeks ageless Jaromir Jagr will pass Mark Messier to become 2nd in NHL all time scoring. Wayne Gretzky, of course, is number one – but The Great One recognizes Jagr’s mastery, saying “He’s a lot like Lemieux...” And, suitably, if one scrambles Jaromir it results in: Mario Jr.

Jagr’s reach is long as Lemieux’s and the IRS combined (or as ex-Blackhawks’ star Steve Larmer jokes, he’s got 15’ reach on either side of his body.) He can also deke like nobody’s business, shoot the lights out, is awesome on the boards, and is as comfortable with the backhand as with the forehand anywhere in the offensive zone. Plus, he also gets “Phil Esposito-garbage-goals” to boot.

In 1996-97, when he notched his 140th point, on the way to 149, he became the highest scoring player from Europe. It was just his sixth season.

Like Bobby Orr, when gliding, Jagr passes players, and he splits defenses seemingly with ease – abilities, no doubt, helped by his doing 1,000 squats a day, starting when he was 7. He can pick top corners from tough, tight, angles...He can do the wraparound – and this when everyone in the rink senses that is his plan. But he has 1 weakness: he can’t skate backwards worth a darn. No big deal, teams dig the offense, look past the defense...and hey, on his way to 1,000 assists, he set up 145 teammates.

44-yr old Jaromir sometimes plays on the Florida Panthers’ first line with LW Jonathan Marchessault (who was 2 when Jaromir broke in to the NHL) and C Aleksander Barkov (who wasn’t born!) in this, his 23rd season. Caught up in the excitement of Jagr leading the team in scoring last year, the Panthers, in October, had a bobblehead night, featuring the famed Jagr mullet. (Many feel he MADE the mullet.) "JJ" jokes he loses his power when he gets his hair cut.

Jagr has been consistently great, certainly as goal production goes. For 15 straight years, ending in 2006-2007, he notched 30 goals per season. One wonders what his NHL totals would be if he wasn’t locked out with the rest of NHLers for parts of 2004-2005 and 2012-2013, and if hadn’t, in between, exiled himself to play in Siberia for 3 years for Avangard Omsk in 2008, where he was an All Star each year.

But as for consistently playing great? A lot of fans in Washington, for the two and a half years he played with the Capitals, would disagree – they felt his effort was not always up to snuff, and this despite signing a 77 million dollar contract. In fact, he was ignominiously tagged as a “coach killer.” Jagr doesn’t like to talk about his time there...And since Jaromir left the Penguins every time he plays in Pittsburgh, he’s booed. Fans there jeer because they hurt. Deep down they love the guy.

Here is final proof that "Jags", who grew up on a farm and stood out as a player from little league on, is truly, truly, blessed. His body, he says, reacts well to sugar and sweets. How many mortals can make that claim? KitKat bars are a favorite...

Jagr was born in the Czech Republic in the city of Kladno, population 110,000 just north west of Prague. Kladno is THE place to go for NHL prospects and players: besides Jaromir 8 others from there have played in the big league. In fact his number 68 wasn’t desired because he considered himself an elite player worthy of a higher number (though he was a fifth pick in the 1990 draft) that so many saw in Lemieux’s 66 or Gretzky’s 99 - but was chosen to honor the Prague Spring political liberalization(s) of 1968 in the then Czechoslovakia.

The Pittsburgh Penguins, where he starred his first 11 seasons, may retire number 68. Jagr admits he’s open to that gesture but also acknowledges that after being gone from that organization for 16 years might mean many of his fans are +either “dead” or “not interested.”  

Laurels so far include his fellow Czechs via the then President, Václav Klaus, on their National Holiday of October 28th giving Jagr the Medal of Merit. He’s a member of the rare Triple Gold Club for being a Stanley Cup, World Cup, and Olympics winner.  He’s been named to the NHL All-Star game 13 times but joked that playing 3 on 3 at his age, in the 2016 game, wasn’t his idea, of a good idea.

Accolades from peers are many and heartfelt. The great captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dave Poulin, called Jagr “...a monster, physically.” Luc Robitaille, the highest scoring left winger in NHL history, called him “unstoppable.” Ron Francis, who holds second place for most assists in the NHL, cites Jaromir as “A great student of the game.”

The typical goalie reaction after a Jagr goal is to stare into space unfocused, slump down on their goalie pads, stunned at his ability – but not shocked by his goal-scoring inventiveness. Fellow Panther teammates, and most importantly the coach, Gerard Gallant, marvel at his work ethic, an ethic that still allows him to make plays at an exceptionally high level. (Jagr believes he’s better than he was 15 years ago, he’s vigilant about “listening to his body” but adds, not facetiously, that the rest of the players are faster and stronger, and in better shape, than they were 15 years ago also.)

One play-by-play announcer put it best:

“He’s so difficult to stop legally.”
​
The only thing that may stop Jaromir Jagr is inevitability. Or Injury. (On Nov. 5th he became day-to-day with a slight groin cramp/charley horse.) We’ve all gotta die sometime. But even Jagr’s got this circle of life squared: he says he’d like to play till he drops - which, knowing this guy - could be, for hockey fans everywhere, a splendidly long, long time away.

Archbishop Murphy Football Wildcats Loom and Win Large.

11/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Just what are they feeding the kids in Everett, Washington? And the Wildcats? They’re mammoth. In fact the Archbishop Murphy’s high school football team, the Wildcats, with 3 players at 300+ pounds - a center, left guard, and tackle - and another 6 at 250, has scared opposition players and parents to, if not death, at least to forbidding their kids to match up against these private school beasts. 5 teams withdrew from their upcoming games, leaving the Wildcats in pure practice mode since September 16th.

Private school being a key criterion here. As opposed to public schools, the team is allowed to recruit over a, no pun intended, wider area in Washington. In fact the radius player pool is 50 miles. Thus they can, with either forklifts or transport trucks, cart the gargantuan prospects to its school, knowing they’re getting the heavy cream of the crop.

It shouldn’t be a total shock, the size of these teens. Growing up in Everett, specifically, and in Washington, generally, has had the characteristics of both polities for vastness drip into the DNA of these kids by osmosis. Consider that Everett’s Boeing facility is the largest building in the world and the European founder of Everett, Dennis Brigham, built his house on a not-too-small 160 acre lot. The state of Washington, for its part, is the biggest producer in the U.S of apples, sweet cherries, pears, hops and red raspberries. It’s the second biggest in America for the production of potatoes, grapes and onions.

Now, production is one thing, export is another. All these foodstuffs aren’t making it the biggest exporter of same, oh no.

Know why?

Because they’re most likely being delivered (rush) to the cafeteria tables of Archbishop Murphy school, where, undoubtedly at the ends of each, sit their 2 players that weigh 140 pounds per, a running back and a wide receiver, waiting for scraps.

So the Wildcats saw at least 5 of their wins, the cancellations, as Pyrrhic. The opponents’ folks were worried about having the offspring smothered literally. For sure, if the games had been played, the foes would have been crushed statistically. In this season’s first 3 games the Wildcats won by an accumulated tally of 170-0.

So the Wildcat footballers were despondent, not being able to strut their awesomeness and the other schools’ kids were delighted, getting to live another day. And the Wildcats coach, Jerry Jensen who despite playing 2 seasons for the Carolina Panthers, and is a relative pipsqueak coming in at 6”, 235 pounds - was a little peeved. With no patsies to steamroll over he let off a little steam:

“That your Friday game has been forfeited, to me doesn’t really ring true to what we’re trying to teach our young adults here,” Jensen told CBS News. “This is their opportunity to face adversity, power through it, and it will serve them well in their life.”

Easy for him to say, his team wouldn’t be the one facing any adversity. And as for schools such as the Granite Falls High Tigers - that had at least one player tippy-toeing the scales at 117-pounds, they wouldn’t be overcoming adversity so much - as running smack dab into their own insanity. At a community meeting at their local library parents decided they didn’t want to fight against tanks with pea shooters this 2016.  (It must have been painful to throw in the towel, but they might have been comforted in their decision somewhat, recalling their beloved Tigers were annihilated by the Wildcats in 2015, losing 66-6 and in 2014 by 56-7.) 

Before we cast aspersions on the hugeness of Wildcat schoolsters, let’s read of what they’ve been trying to do, to level the playing field. Tom Hoban, a follower, in an article titled:

“MISSION OF ARCHBISHOP MURPHY SCHOOL, FOOTBALL TEAM ISN’T WELL UNDERSTOOD”

explains: “To create competitive balance, the school plays at the 2A level now but has made attempts to jump two divisions above its natural 1A classification by inquiring with the Metro 3A (King County) league, and last year petitioning the Wesco 3A (Snohomish County) league to let the school in. Both efforts were denied...”

OK, notwithstanding that the nomenclature is baffling one senses, if only slightly, that the school is trying to do something. Maybe it should take the cross symbol off their helmets, donate them to their foes so they can pray they survive, should they decide to play against Archbishop Murphy HS. Maybe, just for kicks, they should recruit big footballers that are lumbering and uncoordinated, not speedy and talented. Maybe they should (if they’re not already doing so) lend out their marvelous looking football complex to other needier schools for their games.

Heck, because the Wildcats are in one seemingly unending growth spurt, it could be why the school does its physical examinations once every 2 years. With these folks the trends are clear – taller and heavier hourly, no matter what, so why record such facts, waste time doing so, every year?

And the school, as a whole, doesn’t take prisoners. This winter, every other day or so, any kid at the school should he or she so desire, can, at 5:55 AM, participate in a strength-and-conditioning session. So even the fans are buff and battle-hardened.

And AMHS football is larger than life - and is now, live, on video too. Their 2016 AMHS Tigers promotional vid is big-time in production values and quality, even if the highlights were taken from Seattle’s King 5 TV News: they still had to cut and paste, and edit the stuff. But be sure of this - the slogan near the video’s end is one big smooth, sturdy piece of scary script.

It reads: "Leave No Doubt.”

Finally, a game.

The Olympic High Trojans actually, courageously-gamely, PLAYED their scheduled contest against the Wildcats late October.
​
The Wildcats left no doubt, winning 48-0.
