Default Sportsmanship

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his
9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, 'Do you
understand what cooperation is? What a team is?' The
little boy nodded in the affirmative.

'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win
or lose together as a team?'

The little boy nodded 'yes'.

'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you know, when an
out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire,
or call him a p*$&@r-head, d#$&head or a&&hole. Do you
understand all that? '

The little boy nodded 'yes' again.

He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so
another boy gets a chance to play too, it's not good
sportsmanship to call your coach "a dumb a$$ or
s&#thead" is it?'

The little boy shook his head 'NO'.




'GOOD', said the coach . . . 'Now go over there and
explain all that to your grandmother!'

Now that is funny.
