ON THE OTHER HAND, playing organized sports, learning to work with others and making sacrifices DOES contribute to creating values, ethics and efforts that will contribute to your child's navigating successfully through life.

think about it.
what the hell? what does the length of his hair have to do with any of those things? a kid's short hair does not provide any intrinsic value in his life period either.

so with your lame ass thinking, the kid might like his hair long, but he should sacrifice that and chop it off to appease someone else's closed minded prejudices? that is fucked up.

this is more about the intolerance and closed-mindedness of the coach or other person, and kudos to the father for standing up to the brainless intolerance and repression of individuality that is still pervasive in some circles
