“While we respect and appreciate all of the years he has given to our region, the views stated in his e-mail are his personal opinions and do not represent the Beverly Hills Region 76 Board,” he wrote.
Of course he did. He doesn't want to lose the fees the obnoxious parents pay for their little darlings.

The Beverly Hills AYSO board did not agree. Hours after Krut sent the email to more than 2,000 people last week, Alex Grossman, the regional commissioner, responded with his own email calling the missive “unfortunate”.
“While we respect and appreciate all of the years he has given to our region, the views stated in his e-mail are his personal opinions and do not represent the Beverly Hills Region 76 Board,” he wrote.
Of course he did. He doesn't want to lose the fees the obnoxious parents pay for their little darlings.

Same went for baseball, another child loved baseball- after seeing a parent literally race onto the field shouting at a young pitcher, decided to send him to grandparents for playing summer baseball.

Re: WTF in America
Smores, more specifically bacon smores!
Ordinarily not something I eat unless the Herschey's is swapped out for Cadbury's but this just goes overboard.
Take four bacon strips cut in half and weave four halves together to make two 'mats', bake bacon.
Then proceed as usual for normal smores, roast marshmallows over fire pit, take two of the bacon mats (in place of graham crackers), a block of Herschey's and squish the marshmallows and chocolate between the bacon.
Needless to say I'm not putting that in my mouth!

Re: WTF in America
A few years ago the state of North Carolina, while cycling through the alphabet of three letter combinations on car registrations, managed to issue a number of literal "WTF" plates before there were complaints and they were withdrawn and replacement plates issued.
So far, after starting again at the beginning of the alphabet, they have recently reached F and I noticed this morning have been issuing "FAP" plates.
