US Women's Soccer Team

Introduction:

Is anyone proud of the US women’s soccer team?

Soccer is supposed to be about kicking, scoring goals and competing on the field. A few chose to inject themselves personally as well as their political views into the games and the event, that invited in the media and we had a chance to see many of these girls up close and personal.

What a pitiful display.

From not standing for the national anthem, to dropping the flag on the ground during a celebration, to flinging out the F-bomb at public events and on-line videos, to screaming they aren’t going to the F-ing White House, to whining about their pay, to showing off their girlfriends with no clothes on (see article), to mocking other teams on the field, to saying how they so deserved this.

There are two things at work here and it both relates to the decline in our culture and in parenting the past 50 years.

Been Writing About This:

First, they suffer from the “I’m the center of the universe” syndrome. This is a by-product of our culture telling children, all of them are just so special. And parents giving their kids everything.

Second, and I wrote this 12 years ago, and I think it yields insight into why we are where we are today with our youth:

“Because we have more single parent families, both parents are having to work, or parents are more into themselves than they should be, children of today have more unsupervised time. If they spent that time watching re-runs of “Ozzie and Harriett”, they’d be fine. Instead they are watching TV, movies, playing video games and listening to music that is showering them with harmful lessons like, party 24-7, talk with 4-letter words, dis-respect authority, and violence is the way to solve your problems, have sex now, and the gay life-style… Now the entertainment industry is glamorizing gambling, with all its poker TV shows. Glamorizing violence, promiscuous sex, drug use and gambling is harmful to children, because children lack the experience to know this behavior will hurt them in real life. Children see this behavior being rewarded on TV, they assume it works that way in life, so they just repeat that behavior. They are too young to have adult judgement. They repeat what they see.”

This team and how these girls are acting is how they’ve been taught to act, mostly by our culture. And if you are raising children yourself, you know how your children are dealing with other kids who have swallowed too much of this stuff over time.

The solution to the problem is beyond changing the channel or stopping your children from going to R rated movies. The fact of the matter is, the media, internet and entertainment industry has polluted our culture. Its toxins are all around us. We are all being forced to drink, it can't be escaped and it is harming our children.

So you don't have cable TV, or Play Station, and you monitor your children's use of the internet and the music CD's they buy, it doesn't mean your family is immune. You see, little Johnny down the street has been raised on a diet of shoot’em up video games and action heroes bludgeoning people to death, so when Johnny has a bad day and decides to act out what he's been watching, your child may end up a victim any way.

Questions:

Why are we allowing Hollywood to feed our children violence? Why, so we can have more innocent victims? So we can fill up the jails?

What is the benefit of allowing TV to peddle drinking and drugging to our children? What, so our children will end up in rehab or AA?

Why are we silent as music companies teach young men that women are nothing but ho's, to knock up, and drop flat. What is the benefit of feeding them that? So we can extend the welfare lines or fill up the child support courts even more?

Why aren't we objecting to the 4-letter words the entertainment industry is feeding our kids? What's the benefit, so they will know how to curse-out their teachers, friend or future employers?

What is the benefit of allowing TV producers to serve our children all gambling shows?

Conclusion:

Most all of us know violence, drug use, gambling, promiscuous sex and the rest is harmful stuff, it is screwing up our youth and will sink our country in the long run. These children and young adults are our future.

Yet, so many of us are silent on the issue. Especially our leaders at all levels of government. It is like we are on a ship, called the USA America, and someone is boring holes in its hull and we are just quietly standing by as it happens.
