The first time they won, the change in those kids who were only like seven or eight years old was palpable.

They were running to practice the next practice.

They knew what winning was.

They knew they'd scored more goals than the other team.

And they felt it.

And they felt the joy of that.

So I don't buy into that argument whatsoever.

I can't stand it.

JD out, is it?

Well, yeah, I think they lost their first game, so it won't be long.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Yeah, and look, what we used to do, and this is a lot easier in round ball football, but when the kids were really little, if we were playing a team and we were winning at halftime by 6 or 7-0, we just swapped players from some of the teams and some of their kids came on ours and some of them.

And in the second half, some of their kids got to score a goal and the match ended up 11-12 or 5-0.

whatever the score was.

I just didn't like to see any kids sitting on the field getting beaten 11-0 because that just destroys you.

You don't want to play if that's the case.

So kids are really, my point being, kids know what the score is.

Don't underestimate how smart children are.

They pick everything up.

So us adults trying to print a lot of stuff on them, they can decide for themselves.
