He returned to his club team for one last state cup tournament.
I had my doubts about this.
I was right.
Today's game ended in a disgusting display of unsportsmanlike conduct.
After 2 rain delays, play was getting chippy.
The opposing team was outmatched by far.
We were winning the match.
A dirty foul...
A verbal argument...
Much cussing...
Talk of fighting...
Threats.
A player from our team ejected.
The coach of the other team ejected.
A win for us, by forfeit.
Such a sad way for Jimmy to end such a big part of his childhood.
Thankfully, he was out of the game and not involved in the mayhem.
.
Soccer can be a beautiful game when fitness and agility are combined with gentlemanly good sportsmanship.
How could this man set such a poor example for our young men?
Young men who, as boys, looked up to him.
I have lost respect for someone whose dedication to kids I had admired
Truly, one of the most disappointing outcomes I have witnessed.
