No Player Left Behind

All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win the championship. If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable. If after two years they have not won the championship, their footballs and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.

All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time even if they do not have the same conditions or opportunities to practice on their own. NO exceptions will be made for lack of interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities, language issues, learning disabilities of themselves or their parents. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!

Talented players will be asked to workout on their own in the gym, weight room, and the field without coaches. This is because the coaches will be using all their practice time with the athletes who aren’t interested in football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don’t like football.

Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th games. This will create a New Age of Sports where every team is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimum goals. If no child gets ahead, then no child gets left behind. We call this the cookie cutter approach, where every player and every team comes out looking exactly like the other. If parents do not like this new law, they are encouraged to vote for vouchers and support private and chartered programs that can screen out the non-athletes and prevent their children from having to go to school with bad football players.

Only Bush could have dreamed something up like this. The scary part is that our politicians at the state level, think this makes sense.

  1. AMAZING!!! Thank you for posting this. there are so many things about this that highlight so blatantly the insanity of No Player Left behind...

    The only thing I think is missing is that "all funding for little leagues or flag football leagues will be non-existent. Coaches will receive pay based on their ability to simultaneously take athletes who are at a rudimentary skill level and accelerated skill level and get them all to work together to achieve one years growth."

  2. Funding, how could I forget that one. Our governor (NJ) wants to fire half the coaches.
