I just disagree.
Whether the girls in the track article you posted are doing their best- finish in first, second or third it really has no effect on their life. It will have no impact on the college coaches who come to watch and look at times. Ostracizing youths and teens because they don't fit into your narrow definition of what a person is... does however seem like it could have a lasting effect on a kids life.
So again, my position of get rid of the crazy parents and lets the kids play. It's better for everyone that way...
Mr T that whole response is HORSE SHIT and you know it !
Cheating is Cheating.....no way of disguising it.
I know the difference between " Crazy " parents as you put it and
Cheating....You don't.....
