QUOTE In the continuing attempt to make this country as soft as possible, there’s now the “Madre Hill” rule. A rule that prohibits young players from scoring too many touchdowns. Meet 11-year-old running back, Demias Jimerson, who plays in Arkansas’ Wilson Intermediate League. Jimerson is so good that the league implemented a little known rule named after Arkansas Razorbacks great, Madre Hill. If a player has already scored three touchdowns and his team has a 14-point lead, then he’s banned from the endzone. I’m somewhat confused here. If Jimerson gets close to the goal line, is he supposed to fall down and do snow angels or is there some kind of invisible fence that shocks him and prevents him from scoring? Inquiring minds want to know. However, all is not bad in the world of Jimerson. In seven years, Bret Bielema will ask him to come into the fourth quarter against Austin Peay up 63-3. And after his touchdown, Bielema will tell him to go for two…you know, because the card told him to. Kinda reminds me of another rule they enacted where if a medic's already saved 3 lives that week, he's not allowed to save anymore. If he sees someone get hurt, he's just supposed to run over to the patient and stare at them until another medic shows up on scene. Anyway, as much as I dislike the bias displayed in the beginning of the article: QUOTE In the continuing attempt to make this country as soft as possible areyoufuckingkiddingme.jpg I have to say that it IS a bit of a ridiculous rule. At first I thought it was just the situational case where little Johnny was seeing ALL of the action while the rest of the football team was sitting on the bench for 95% of the season, which I would be inclined to agree with given it's middle school, and let's be honest...in middle school, the point of football is for the kids to see if they like to play football, not to see who's team is the best. However, the article is saying that if a kid's scored 3 touchdowns already, he's not allowed in the bloody endzone! I don't even remember there being a reason WHY such a rule exists details in the article. Now this isn't a major uber awesome controversy topic quite like abortion, gay marriage, or what gaming console I should buy, but I find it interesting nonetheless.

Its things like this that cause little 11 year old siblings to scream "MOOOOOOM SHE WONT LET ME WIIIIIN" at a game of mario party, its not my fault that i beat him at every single video game :<
If i try and let him win the computers beat him and he accuses me of hacking. its also things like this that give the 12 yearold cowadooty players something to cry about, headshot? "OMGGGGG THATS SO UNFAAAAAAIIIIR" Let the good kid play, he'll get better, he'll make his country famous one day. Famous for good things, not stupid things like this. --------------------     |

That is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Which is saying something. If the kid has talent, let him show it! Banning him from scoring any more touchdowns after a certain number of them will only discourage the kid to be like "oh, I only can do three...and that's it." It kinda stops the growth right there. --------------------  my party. needs clicks!  vdex! you know you wanna look >:D      -Friendship is like peeing in your pants.

And that is why the generation below mine are whiny little brats. When I was their age, it was either you're good, keep doing it. Or you're shit don't play. It's called tough love, they should learn it.

I agree with Grey Warden if he's good then let him score as many freakin' touchdowns as he wants.It'll help his self esteem a lot more if you don't limit him just because a very questionable rule is in the rule book. -------------------- Click my signature and please click my Pokemon.

Instead of banning him, why not tell the rest of his team-mates to stop sucking?

It cannot control what it creates and it cannot, it seems, be controlled by its creations (though a few might deceive themselves otherwise).

You have got to be kidding me. If you coddle kids like this (telling them, "if someone is doing better than you we'll make them stop!") they'll never be able to survive in the adult world. Words can't describe the... amusement a feel at this. It's so stupid, it's comical.

Wow, this rule seems like it's specifically catered to all the bratty kids out there who can't accept that someone is better than them at something. And really? Banning them from the end zone? What the fuck are they gonna do about it if the same kid purposely goes to score a fourth touchdown, kick them off the team for being good enough to do that?
How about instead of implementing stupid rules like this, they train the rest of the team to be as good as whoever got them that lovely little 14-point-lead in the first place. -------------------- [align=center]

I don't always post in old threads, but when I do...
Anyways this is just America's "every kid gets a trophy" mentality that pretty much disheartens kids with actual talent. If someone sucks at something, why encourage them to keep doing it? -------------------- |

Honestly, I think it's a good thing. Maybe to show kids to do the fuck better! What happened to the old saying "Give a 110% Champ!" ?
