Republican athletics

Sat., May 15, 2021

People are saying that leaders of the Republican Party are creating a new sports league for children to help teach them their fundamental values. Although games will have no clear-cut rules, kids will be inculcated with the following:

Never admit you are wrong.

If caught lying or cheating, deny reality and blame someone else.

Winning is more important than the anachronistic concepts of personal honor and integrity.

Games will be held at Fealty Field, and teams will include the Sidesteppers, Undercutters, Corrosives,

Prevaricators, Fraudsters, Opportunists, Ignoramuses, and Seditionists.

Teach your children well.
