Nice that donations support their quest to learn good sportsmanship [/quote]

“7 and 8 year olds”
“Young men”

Still a good cause but golly gosh - a bit farfetched no?[/quote]

"The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton."  Society needs strong men in every generation.[/quote]

Biggest myth in British history. The battle of Waterloo was won on the battlefields of Waterloo. Not too many etonians in the field that day except in HQ. so the rest of the men on the field that day (the young men referred to above) were, according to this line of thinking, totally irrelevant. [/quote]

Ugh... here we go.  The quote I gave is a misquotation but is meant to convey the message that sports not only build strong men but also help develop an individual's fighting spirit as well as a society that embraces it.  I invite you to share how you are actively building strong men.[/quote]

First, by telling them the truth. Second, by telling them battles are won in the field based on a lot of different things, but win or lose, you can only control your own effort and commitment, and should always do that regardless of whether a victory or loss is likely to result. Third, that the most dangerous thing you can assume is that nobody else has figured out a better way to win. Fourth, that you should try to learn from the mistakes of others than your own. Anything else that you apparently did not learn along the way (other than dropping inaccurate quotes while lecturing others)?[/quote]
