Exaggeration and Sportsmanship

Daddy has decided on two things.
One: we will win or lose with grace and sportsmanship
and Two: we will loathe media that use ridiculous sensationalistic tactics (we had to look that one up in a dictionary part way through daddy's rant)
So the headline is:

"Hockey player nearly decapitated"

Pretty catchy headline, eh? (<----we're Canadian girls). Makes you think that somebody really got messed up...perhaps there's some blood or an exposed organ or two? Maybe we get to see somebody unconscious (or at least in a semi-conscious state). Those media bastards and their over exaggerated headlines...

That is the most boring "almost decapitation" that we have ever seen. Granted, we haven't seen that many...yet...but our father watches some pretty violent movies and he said that as far as decapitations go, this one "sucked ass" (at this point mommy asked him not to use that language around us).

That being said, how the hell was this asshole (sorry, mommy...we learned it from daddy), allowed to keep playing unharmed by the rest of his team. What kind of dick takes a swing at his own goalie's head with a piece of wood. His team should have given him the beating of a lifetime and sent him home on a stretcher.

Our daddy says that if we lose, we will shake our opponent's hand, tell them they played well, and wish them good luck in their next match. He also got a bit carried away and said that it would be up to us to beat down any of our teammates that act like this turd. We're not really sure if our dad should be encouraging us toward violent behaviour but he assures us that it is warranted in some cases. And so we train so that we will be able to dish out a thrashing when needed...

  1. Nana hopes you understand your Daddy is a tad impatient and intolerant, despite his otherwise completely lovable nature.

  2. Dude, you're gonna be such a good Dad. Swearing, violence, encouraged decapitations. Can't wait to see which nut house the girls put you in as soon as they're old enough!
