Dating yourself? Isn't that illegal?
Gotta admit that I remember those games with absolutely no fondness 
whatsoever, myself. I grew up in a tiny country town, that kept on girls 
rules basketall longer than most other places, along with some other old 
fashioned stuff. So there I am, playing and growing to love the real thing, 
a beautiful game, with the boys after school and on weekends and then I'm 
supposed to not only play that mess under the name of *basketball*, but I 
was expected to get excited about it because it was "a real sport" like the 
boys, instead of the other garbage they thought was suitable for girls' 
gym. I hated and resented it. Ugh.

See guys -there *are* worse things perpetrated supposedly as being 
basketball than the Cs have ever done
