After tonight’s loss to the other team of 3Q’s, we remain winless. I fear if I say anything more my teammates will beat me. Consequently, I’m relegating myself to the cheering section for the remainder of the season.

Apparently I’ve become content with losing. I’m like the proud parent of a one legged little leaguer. I get more satisfaction watching bad players having a good time then watching good players get overly frustrated. For the second week in a row there was almost a fight, and this week it seemed like people spent more time getting pissed and less time laughing.

Towards the end of the game a girl wanted to be put in and I was more than willing to let her, unfortunately we were down by 6 with 4 minutes to play. As I called to sub her in, my decision was overruled.

Pretty soon we were down by 9 with 3 minutes to play and she reiterated the fact she wanted to go in. As she stood on the sideline eagerly waiting, I didn’t have the heart to tell her I couldn’t make it happen.

I’m competitive don’t get me wrong, I just prefer to pick my battles. I’m the worst basketball player ever, and don’t pride myself enough in the event to care whether or not I win or lose. I certainly don’t care enough to fight classmates over a call.

Since an apathetic player is much worse than no player at all, it’s with great sadness and a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Law League basketball.
