Why bag other district teams

Hi Everyone,

this will probably cause a huge up roar but nothing like a weekly up-roar to make things interesting.

I have been playing district for now 15 years and for all this time I have heard woodville this and Centrals that and West did this and blah blah blah...

I understand if a club I don't know played a U20 in an u18 team or something really serious. But why do parents of there kids teams or even coaches, come out and bag other teams..

Is it that serious that your playing for sheep stations ?

It's your kids playing it's not NBL or NBA etc..

So why does this happen ?

Competitive behaviour, though much of it is unnecessary. Keep it on the court...

because unfortunately there are people in this world who have a problem with not being the best or having the best, so therefore if there is a team that is better etc, or a player that is better than them or their's, they have to make themselves feel better by finding fault with the better team or player.

but then why do people bag Central?

who knows?? bit of a conundrum isn't it??

Yeah, I've been getting sick of having to sift through the boring/negative and non productive district slurs just to get to the interesting INFO!

I don't think its tall poppy syndrome at all. I think most of it done by people that feel they have failed at a club and feel the need to blame someone for their failure. They blame a club. This is non-sensical because most club's leaderships change ever 2-3 yrs anyway. The other reason is some people feel threatened. Rather than put faith in their skills and abilities they would rather publicly bag clubs. They choose clubs that they think are an easy target.

what about the other side of the coin, there are players out there that have been failed by their club (I guess staff and coaches as well) Parents on committees pushing their own adgendas and letting good basketball people slip through their fingers as it is often the only recourse.

I am bitter with a club that I have been involved with in the past, I felt that I was working in the best interest of the club but my work was not inline with some of the committee's personal adgendas and when a crucial decision was made that showed me I did not have the committee's support I felt it was best to go.

I guess I believe that club bashing isn't just a one way street and both the club and its members can fail one and other.

Maybe we could use the fall back...if you dont have anything nice to say...

Peace
Tubby

Look at Maslows Hirearchy of needs. There seem to be very few self actualised people involved with basketball that post on this forum. The main troubles come from the Sturt I beleive. They seem very insecure.

Last week we had the internet economist, now we have the internet psychologist analyzing a whole club no less! In the words of Tom Cruise, "spare me the psychobabble bullshit!".

Maslow - way to answer the question........whilst bagging a club!!
Nice double.

I've heard Sturt called many things over the years - arrogant, condescending etc. - insecure was never one of them.

Spadge : what is Ironic ?

I guess it could be the bashing from members of that team who don't even play for that team but because they Coach and or have some sort of dealings in it they think their teams are oh so great.

I'm not sure but I guess that could be something aswell.

124179, If that is the case why would you choose to bag them. If you really beleive you are in a dominant position and have the skills to back it up why come on here and anonymously talk smack. Better yet, become self actualised, back yourself, and join these clubs. You may be the man to turn them around. You my friend have not even surpassed the need to feel wanted and loved. You are lashing out at those you beleive to be weaker when infact you are weak.

To put another spin on it for 'analyze this' you are at the bottom of John Woddens pyramid of success.

maslow - i know it's now week three of Uni, but save your recently acquired knowledge for your assignments. People bag other clubs because that's what's been done in the past, so that's what will happen and will continue to happen (unless there's a revolution).

Heard an un-named person from a certain club rang up John Wooden and offered his "pyramid of success" a spot in the starting 5.

Have had the "how to spell" "know your gramma or is that grammar" thread before - nuffinkk changes stays the same - "Spadge" (sorry Spadge)is one of the worst offenders and there are some anonymous threads that just reek "Spadge" all over them because of the spelling and grammar
