This is an excerpt from the latest edition of my book; “Beyond Bartman, Curses and Goats: 107 Reasons It’s Been 107 Years”…available next month.
“Let them play! Let them play! Let them play!”
If you are a child of the 1970s, you may recognize the above chant from the The Bad News Bears: Breaking Training. The movie was the 1977 sequel to The Bad News Bears which starred Walter Matheau as Morris Buttermaker and Tatum O’Neal as Amanda Wurlitzer. Neither Matheau nor O’Neal reprises their roles in the sequel…which is just one of the many reasons it is inferior to the original.
