I recently received a call inquiring if I would like to do some men’s
league games. For those of you that know
me well, I really don’t use foul language very often, but the first thing that came
to mind was "BLEEP NO”! Of course I didn’t
spout that out, but I politely declined the offer and informed the person that
my days of doing men’s league basketball were OVER!!
I could probably go
on for days and days with this topic, but I’ll limit it.
How is it that 30, 40, 50+ year old men can still BELIEVE that they are 17-20 again, when the body clearly shows and tells a much different story? Has the talent that once may have resided inside been replaced with an overwhelmingly ignorant & vulgar vocabulary? Has bitterness taken away the mindset & skills that once may have brought some of them cheers, scholarships, and even riches, or is it that thing called AGE?

I've actually
felt sorry for some of those guys that I officiated while doing men's league, hobbling up and down the
court looking like they were running on hot rocks and broken glass (broken glass everywhere, people pissin on the stairs like they just don't care....lol Sorry I digress) , and the
smell of Icy Hot permeating so heavily that it makes your eyes water…from a
DISTANCE!
FYI…..Age does NOT discriminate, accept it and move on J
Thoughts??
