Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Have you considered that they are complaining about all the administrative nonsense that is forced upon us?

This is why we quit

In a society marked by solitude, where radical individualism has shifted the emphasis from “us” to “me”, resulting in a deficit of real concern for others, sport – especially team sports – teaches the value of cooperating, working together and sharing. These are at the very heart
