Should we allow players to "Play Up"? It happens all the time, but it seems like there are pros and cons every time. We break it down!
Participation trophies are given out everywhere and given out at an older and older age every year. What is the issue with them? Why did we start giving them out? Should we be? Let's talk!
Culture... Everyone's got one. Unfortunately, not everyone knows what their's is. We break it down! And if you haven't tried to murder the parents of someone who took you kid's spot on a roster, do you REALLY care that much?
Team Rules... how many do you have? What sort of punishment fits the crime? Should you have very many rules at all? We debate all of these issues! And we also found out that for all of the criticism that professional commissioners get, there is a commissioner out there that is much, much worse.
