Sports competition run amok in Ontario

'To ensure every child 'wins', Ontario athletic association removes ball from soccer'

http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/20...l-from-soccer/

"We want our children to grow up learning that sport is not about competition, rather it's about using your imagination. If you imagine you're good at soccer, then, you are."

Pathetic.

Did you happen to notice some of the other articles linked? Or that this was written by a comedy duo?

Wow, I can't believe such a thing would happen.
It must be true if it's on the CBC, they would never publish a fake article on a comedy blog.

There is an ongoing rant happening on a friend's Facebook wall about this. and although I was familiar with "This is That" and knew that it was satire, I'm just going to let them go at it for as long as possible!

All we are missing is a Wolven like freak out on the subject matter before reading the rest of the posts and realizing it was a joke..

Wasn't there a thread like this pertaining to the same comedy site not even 6 months ago?
