Disguised-A vent

This is my little vent. Let me say it's about one man and not meant to offend anyone. If you're a female I'm sure you recognize and have probably at sometime in your life experienced the saying "It's a mans world." But it's not rigjht for little 7-9 year old girls to experience this.

Henceforth my vent- My granddaughter was supposd to have a softball game at 7 p.m. last night. She's in uniform anticipating the game when her coach rings the phone at 6:30 p.m. Her game has been cancelled.

It rained Wednesday night. But when my daughter called the recreation center at 1:30 p.m Thursday they said the games were on. After the coach called she went out to the sports plex to find the Parks & Recreation manager.

All the other games were in progress at the time. So she walked up to him and asked him to explain to her 7 year old daughter why her game was cancelled. He said their field wasn't in playing condition look at the field. She said you're correct that field isn't safe. BUT that wasn't the little girls field. He took their field and gave it to the boys to play on.

He claim it was easier to make up 1 game than 2. There was no reason to make up 2 games. If he'd done right the little boys game was all that needed to be made up. As a matter of fact there was NO reason for any game to be made up.

The instructional league(4-6 year old boys & girls) only play 1 hour. All he had to do was start a game 1 hour later.

When are we going to get over the caveman days that say males are more valuable than females?

All these kids have to pay the same amount to play but yet the girls always get the shaft. They don't get all stars. The boys have more leagues.

Please understand this is about being FAIR to all the kids no matter their sex. What are his actions saying to our kids?

I'm so disguised in his behavior it stinks!
