Embarrassed to say I am from Windsor

I hate articles like this. Makes me upset. How does someone have a right to be drafted in the OHL? There are NO absolutes. This is what's wrong with minor hockey in Windsor-Essex county, **** like this. And even dragging Rychel into this too... what a bunch of ****. What a great way to lose ALL your respect.

I don't read the Windsor Star anymore for reasons like this [mainly not in sports though, sports is really supposed to be fun right?], bad articles about whinny hockey players. Reporters mis-quoting things, mis-using phrases & so forth.

My torts prof called the Windsor Star, "Windsor's worst written fiction," me being one of few "native Windsorites" is the only one who gets it

When I was younger, I remember reading another whiner story before of a kid playing Junior C who didn't get drafted... all he does is play hockey, all he wants... yadda, yadda, yadda crap... face it kid, if you were good enough you would still be playing... either work on your game & improve or get off.

Geez, you never see one of these stories end up playing at a higher level ironically... wonder about the mental makeup.
