The Optimist Club exists for the following reasons:

1. To enable tubby middle-aged guys, unimportant in the real sports world, to get their rocks off by strutting around the football field and growling at young kids.

2. To promote bogus life values in these unsuspecting victims and accelerate the destruction of their brains and joints.

For young boys football is an especially vile & reprehensible activity:

"...when the researchers started dragging in apparently healthy non-concussed players for memory tests and MRI's to establish a control group, they were surprised to discover that players had impaired brain functioning despite not having suffered a concussion. Ultimately, the study found that the sheer number of hits that a player had taken over the previous week, completely irrespective of whether a concussion had been suffered, was the best predictor of brain impairment."

"this is particularly scary, because it means that the vast majority of brain damage in football players might be occurring in the absence of any easily recognizable symptoms...."

For these poor kids should perhaps be renamed 'The Pessimists' Club'
