So you all know me and probably know that I love playing sports. However if there is one thing I hate the most about playing sports, it has got to be the the stuck up, kiss ass, brown-nosers, think-they-know-it-all players that are on the team!! And it is not only that, but what gets me even more frustrated is when the coach goes along with it, and those players become the coach’s favorites.

This annoying problem has been going on for a while, on a team that I am very familiar with. After playing on this team for some time, some friends and I have noticed some extremely unfair politics that has been integrated into the group of girls.

There is a clear, thick line that separates the players who are spoiled and favored by the coach, and everyone else on the team who are actually playing the game correctly.

It is evident that those certain players who kiss up to the coach are clearly doing it so that they can get more playing time. In some very extreme cases, some of the players’ PARENTS become involved with this, in hopes that their children (who they know are not good) could play more during a game. Two very true and real dilemmas in this program are so unbelievably idiotic that I cannot wait any longer to tell you
