BAM, you do work hard for the growth of the sport...Its not like you're scaring Bill Gates with the fortune you're making
You got WAY to kind of a heart to rip any one off...and we know that,
Im glad to call your and your girls 'family'...T counts as a 'girl'
...even to include washing down your batting facility FOR FREE!!! (Cant beat 4 inches of water...)
In no way is that ad offensive...Somebody can make something over nothing...usually for their own agenda...This is a sport where men and young ladies work together, usually fathers with daughters...and honestly, when I'm around ...They're ALL my daughters...every one of them...if I saw someone doing something I felt was 'wrong' around ANY player...and I may get my ass whipped, but I will stand up for ANY kid...
Are there perv's around?...Yep...Being able to discern and avoid them is what you teach kids...
As far as 'shielding' a kid from everything that can even be REMOTELY suggestive is childish and IMHO stupid...
Ive taught mine what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' but more importantly WHY...
Explaining to them why certain things, such as drugs, language, actions etc are bad...Not just SAYING "OOOoo, thats bad..."
Its more like..."We don't do that, because...."
Kids are gonna be subjected to everything in life...I'd rather one of us, as in GREAT parents give them the 'How to' on things...vs what they learn from other kids or worse...
That's what 'grown ups' are supposed to do...not try to cover up and hide whats in plain view...
Remember in the service, you go TDY or something and see a sign that said these places, areas etc are 'OFF LIMITS"...? Which was usually the 1st place we'd go just to see why...BUT if they came with...WHY they're bad, we didn't go there...
The Gluv doesn't deserve any 'flak' for that ad..
