    What? That was a positive list.

    Federal Farmer agrees.

    Positive things that you learn from sports, discipline, chain of command, teamwork, working with different personality types, working with your strengths and building them up, setting goals and achieving them, competition, building moral, confidence building, learning to accept losses and learning from your mistakes. These are all things you need to function as an adult in the world.

    Forced participation in sports doesn't make anyone a better person any more than going to church makes anyone a better person. But, that you think this says a lot about your personality.

    More bullshit about how innate character traits are forged from outside forces. Again, not true.

    All the benefits of sports can be had without participating in them or embracing any of the inherent douchebaggery.

    Lubak is going to call you a veiled gay slur, and Federal Farmer is going to agree.
    Be braced for that.
    It's crippling.
    It drove me off the board.
    I'm not even posting this right now.
    This post didn't happen.

    Then it looks like you had a really bad typo that spellcheck corrected wrong, cuz "boy scouts" looks like "sports" in the original post.
    Isn't that weird?
    I hate when that happens.

    There is, but it's not nearly as bad or prevalent as people would have you believe

    You also could have used sports in your life. You don't seem to be a team player. Like at all :lol:

    My god you're stupid. You can learn them from sports or the Boy Scouts or through other activities. I happened to play baseball as a kid, but the majority of what I learned growing up came from my experience in the Boy Scouts which is why I called you out when you said this.
    Do try and keep up.

    No, just stop inserting what you think people are saying or are going to say.

    I'm sure you would have clarified everything if I hadn't said anything.
    That's so your M.O.

    That you think “forced” and “voluntary” are the same thing says a lot about your personality. I said forced for a reason. … moron.

    Inherent? No. But there does seem to be a correlation between men who were good at sports in childhood and then grew up to be complete assholes in real life.

    Diacanu made a statement about sports.
    Garak insinuated Diacanu’s dislike of sports is the reason “Diacanu is not … [I don’t know, a man?]”
    You state sports teaches people a list of virtues.

    If it wasn’t your intention to link the two, then perhaps you should have clarified from the get go cuz it certainly reads like you are agreeing with Garak that the reason Diacanu is [whatever insult] is because he doesn’t like sports.

    Show me @Shirogayne where I said you only learn these traits from sports. Provide a quote of me saying that since you marked it as fantasy.

    I'd say that @Diacanu hasn't learned these virtues anywhere, weather it be sports, band, scouts, the science club, etc..
