I feel like the season is so short to begin with. Before you know it it's over in my book. Basketball 32 to 42 games. Baseball or Softball 60 to 70 games. Football? 12+ games. On top of that, maybe only 4 or 5 of them are away. Let the kids play I say... at least the ones that want to.Posters say these games don't mean anything but I'm betting they mean something to the kids who actually play some for their first time to hit the field..
