Teenager
Football Games – Its Cold and Mayor Rob Ford
On Friday afternoon my wife and I
attended a Football Game at Crestwood High School where our Grandson’s team
from Adam Scott were playing. It is an exciting game and fun to watch.
The
tension at the game was great in that these two teams are rivals. Crestwood is
a triple A Team (and school) – meaning their school has a larger number of
students than Adam Scott. This puts them into a larger (and tougher) football
league. Adam Scott is still a double A Team coming from a supposedly smaller
school.
The
two teams have played for the rights to be the top team in the Kawartha area…even
though their teams are from different levels.
Our
Adam Scott team came very close to winning and at one point it looked like they
would win.
Typical
things happened at the game. Two kids were hurt – one taken to the hospital by
ambulance. One helped off the field.
The
Ambulance kid – was from Crestwood…
The
Helped off the field kid – my grandson.
Oh boy. My grandson is okay(I think) he walked off the field. He was blasted by another blocker at the edge
of the field that put his full weight into a lawn chair some dear little lady
was sitting on. The lady had escaped but the lawn chair died – and my grandson
was very angry at the chair!! Sideline injuries
are not uncommon with anxious parents and grandparents leaning into to see what
is happening.
High
School football is a hardy game… and requires good coaching. It requires a good teacher and or volunteers.
Yesterday
at the game for my grandson there were at least two Scouts for two Universities
– Laurier and Queens. Football is a big
deal for these families and being offered further education from a top University
is a really big deal!!
Why
write this information and personal experience for you to read and think about?
IN TORONTO on Thursday afternoon there was
another football game between two high schools as well. It was a cold afternoon with a light rain
falling and a strong wind blowing.
The
game was important to these high school kids as well. Likely because they are one of the winning
teams in all of Toronto and because there well could be University Scouts at their
games as well, there is some anxious moments for one team.
The
difference is that this Football Team has a rather high profile Coach – the Mayor
of Toronto, Mayor Rob Ford. Whoa!
On
that cold afternoon, at that game, things got out of hand towards the end of
the game it was reported. There was a fight. One report said it was between the
Coach(es) and the Referees from the School that Mayor Ford`s team was visiting.
Other reports seemed to indicate that the potential was for the teens to get
into it as well.
The
students from the school they were visiting were hustled off the field.
The
visiting Team, Mayor Rob`s team, was left in the cold – literally. The team bus
was to arrive somewhere around 4:30 PM – but this interruption happened earlier…
and the team was not going inside to wait.
A
phone call was either made by the school officials or a police officer that was
at the game. A bus was taken out of service and the passengers that were on it
were told to leave the bus and wait for the next one to come along.
At
the school more police officers arrived along with the re-routed bus to pick up
the kids.
So
what is the problem? It seems like a
good thing that was done? Right?
Nope.
The reporters and the City Councillors where Mayor Ford works – at City Hall
were waiting on Mayor Ford to return. He had taken two hours off because of his
team… and the trouble happened – perhaps adding to his time… Oh Boy. The Mayor is
now in more HOT WATER – because he helps his Footballs Team.
Everyone
is going to get the Mayor Rob Ford for his actions this week.
As
I read all of the stuff that is happening to him and around him… I don’t think
that I have ever heard of… or witnessed a man that gets into more Hot Water
than he does.
I
take my hat off to Mayor Ford for sticking to his guns in most things. He may
not be right – but he is consistent.
If
I was a Grandparent of a kid on his team (or a parent) – I would be thankful
that some one cared enough about my Teenager to not leave them at the side of
the Football field – freezing and getting sick.
Lighten
up reporters – where is your human side of what you write?
If
you don’t like Mayor Rob Ford – you only need to wait a little longer and you
can simply oust him with your vote.
A
few cities around Toronto are planning to do just that – the next time
around. Some Mayors are useless. Some Mayors are bullies. Other Mayors are incompetent.
Others well… they just should never have applied for the job… all of us know
that – but not one of us want that silly job where you will be shot at – all the
time and you can never make anyone happy – ever!!
Good
Luck Rob Ford – Good Luck!
