ARE WE BECOMING A NATION OF WIMPS?????

The Masters Golf Tournament was completed this past weekend, and I couldn't believe the whimpering done by tabloid and video media. How dare they make the course harder to play. And then the inclement weather made everyone shoot over par. No longer glorified stars, just mortals like you and I.
The new Major League stadiums, with there Little League dimensions, so that it would be easier to hit home runs for the over medicated so called sluggers.
I have played in rougher touch football games, then what passes for professional football. When was the last time you saw a football player who looked like he just played a game of tackle?
Booing is being outlawed in certain school districts, so as not to offend opposing players.
Excellent students are being punished with the elimination of honors programs and honor rolls so as not to offend the morons. Don't raise the bridge, lower the water.
At the rate they are increasing the Bowl season and the number of them, soon every college football team will play in one.
We would have one football championship team in days gone by. Now it is up to eight classes, with talk of increasing it to more. Just declare them all champions and be done with it. Classic literature and art are routinely removed from walls and book shelves, just because ONE person claims to be offended.
We have been lowering the bar in athletics as well as in academics, so that when we are faced with a dilemma, we are at a complete loss as what to do. No wonder the world is passing us up so quickly.
