"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Youth League Institutes TD Limit to Hold Back 11-Year-Old
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2011-10-02 00:00
"Usually we try to celebrate great young athletes and their prodigious potential. In Arkansas, one youth football league is instituting a dramatic rule to hold back its brightest star, all in an attempt to level the playing field for other competitors." Sigh...rather than challenge the other kids to develop better skills, they opt to drag down the child that has worked hard to excell. Across the board mediocrity will be strictly enforced.
