I'm wondering why none of the editor's choice letters have included the fact that this article is essentially plagiarized- could it be the editors don't want to admit to a stupid mistake? Hello Salon, take a look at the Slate link!
In case you missed it: http://www.slate.com/id/2149867
Even if this article was by a legitimate author, I cannot understand why Salon would print something so hateful, demeaning and off base. Should kids not play pickup basketball because they can't all be Michael Jordan? Should only prodigies be allowed on a soccer field? Sports are to be played by one and all, including hacks, weekend warriors and arrogant, misanthropic jerks like the author.
I'm actually embarrassed to be a Salon subscriber right now- this is the type of elitist garbage that right wingers accuse the left of, and it hurts to find it on what is usually a top notch website that manages to avoid this sort of thing.
