re: The more I have time to mull it over the more I am convinced

I wish race was never an issue. I wish people who don’t like displays of poor sportsmanship would not themselves turn around and display poor sportsmanship. I wish fans of sports teams that win championships would not gloat to fans of other teams. I wish fans of the other teams would not pretend they are not jealous of the championship winner. I wish women’s sports was appreciated more and not denigrated because it is actually women who are playing it. But I am a realist, and as my dad was fond of saying when I was a wee lad, shite in one hand and wish in the other and see which hand fills up first.
