Bullies Bullies Mean Bullies

As I was not a large, fast, or imposing youngster, and as I did well with ye olde schoolwork, I was from time to time picked on. It's no fun. Encouraging and or pushing adults in authority to exert it and clamp down on incidents of bullying is a good idea.

Filing a bullying complaint against the coaches of a high school football team that beat your kid's high school football team in a 91-0? That's a bad idea. When you step out on the field and you don't play well, you're going to get thumped. Sometimes, you're going to get thumped so bad you get sympathy cards from rented mules. If you don't like that, don't step on the field, because there are only so many things the team in the lead can do to reduce the carnage, as the winning coach noted in his interview.

Rumors that living descendants of General George Armstrong Custer were considering a similar claim until they were dissuaded by those pointing out the counter-claim could get quite dicey have, as yet, proved unfounded.
