New coach

The recent decision by the US Supreme Court was correct, but surprising.

A 6-3 vote count was expected but rather as 3-6. Sometimes people do the right thing. Sports can be an analogy for many parts of life, do your beat, train hard, play fairly, accept the umpires’ decisions and accept your losses when they happen but not everyone does this and a few do none.

As a coach of many school sporting teams I have tried to encourage these attributes in my players. I have never called a player that I selected a ‘loser’ even on the few occasions when their performance would perhaps justify it.

I doubt that Donald Trump ever coached one of his children’s sporting teams for which many other children could be thankful.

I think Trump’s team, the Republicans, aren’t going to have many victories this year under his leadership. As to whether this is better or worse others can decide that.
