I watched a kid get his collar bone broken last weekend trying to defend a kid 30+ pounds heavier and way more physically mature. Not against the rules so it's all good...right?
Why do people use steroids? Because they work.
Why do people hold back their kids? Because it works.
You have to adapt to your community. LI has some good schools and Myles Jones PGed. To keep up with the Jones (LOL)
I have four kids, all hold backs. Only one plays sports at a high level. All four are judged based upon their peer group. Being older gives them more opportunities. They win. No cheating just using the arbitrary nature of the system established to treat kids based on their DOB. It is a joke.
Get on board people... we have cookies
And their peers all talk behind their backs. He won because he's a hold back or he should have won because he's a holdback. It's a lose lose. Just as they say "gaming" the system.
People deny it, but if the current system doesn't change on its own, there WILL BE a catastrophic injury, with a subsequent lawsuit, and then the external forces of lawyers/insurance will make the change come about. So, the only question is will that change be proactive or reactive? Considering NXT, Adrenaline, and 3D1's announcement, it is looking like proactive for now, but their phased in approach might get accelerated if something happens in the interim.
