The UPC manual forbids organized sports. How well I know that, being forbidden to play anything although in high school I was better at basketball than anything in my life. I was far better than anyone in the conference and had to endure daily questions about why I couldn't play. I once had the varsity coach call me in as a sophomore, lay a uniform on his desk (#32), and say, "show up tonight and you're in the starting lineup."
Ok so maybe I'm a little bitter about it, but explain to me why people like me are forbidden to express themselves athletically, but it's ok to say, "Go Celtics" and follow pro sports passionately? I will never understand that. Can you help me? (And Bird was the greatest!)
