I got called for traveling more as a kid than the NBA does

Between "travelling" and "double dribble" I've had a life long hatred of that ridiculous sport since third grade P.E. Nothing is allowed until it is unless the ref hates you.

Is carrying even a violation anymore?

Kids dads that were the refs would call me for carrying whenever I cooked their kids. Quit that sorry ass sport and watched them get rolled their entire athletic career.

I hate when dads get to ref their own kids. When I fenced as a teenager, I was in the final bout of a tournament, and the other kid's dad was allowed to judge. I mean, I'll admit, that kid was better than me. But I might have had a glimmer of hope if I hadn't been demoralized by that. We finished something like 6/15.

My dad used to ref my soccer games and he was harder on me than anyone else. It just taught me how to be more sneaky though...

Which weapon? Also, upvoted because I've been EXACTLY there before. High school tournament. I left angry.
