Screw sports. I'll tell you what I've seen- spoiled sports "heroes" and their cheerleader "princesses" that can't handle life outside the school environment. Spoiled babies that got handed extra points on their school work or tutored so they could play in the big game. Spoiled brats that got special treatment by the school, the community, their parents, etc. Spoiled whiners that could never understand why things weren't going their way. Spoiled bullies that stepped all over the non-jock types.
I participated in sports in high school, but it was a sideline, not my whole life. When I went in the Marine Corps I saw the hero jocks sitting on a bar stool reveling in their glory days. When I got back, most of them were still holding down that bar stool, only 40 lbs heavier with no job. Sports taught them nothing, the "character" it built created a worthless bum and since they were handed grades and everything else, they were generally too stupid and lazy to put any effort into bettering themselves. And yet, those losers called me "lucky" because I wasn't a drunken stoner with multiple DWIs that scored in the top .5% on my entrance exams to a real career.
If kinds want to play sports, fine. Just don't let them make it all that life is about.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
