I know Im probably becoming tiresome with this topic. Sorry, sort of. Between being a coachs son and the recipient of that fathers stellar parenting, the twin topics of football culture and child beating (spanking is a weasel word, sorry) together make up the great Reeses peanut butter cup of my soul. Peterson said his dad used to beat him with an electrical cord, so he considered his own parenting methods to be HUMANE by comparison, which is insane. But thats what happens in a culture of beating. Beating is a tradition that parents hand down to children, who then hand it down (with great force) to their own children, until an entire family tree of abuse has sprung forth. Given the way abuse can spread, its a wonder any child makes it out of childhood unscathed. (NOTE: The electrical cord. Yeah. I still get a little twitchy around those big orange extension cords. Ah, the memories...)
