 There has been a significant increase in player ejections for boys soccer and football games this year, according to the Oregon School Activities Association. An ejection is when a coach calls out a player for having unsportsmanlike behavior that can range from threats to physical violence. This year, Oregon’s boys soccer teams have accumulated 198 ejections -- a nearly 45% increase from last year. Peter Weber is the executive director of the Oregon School Activities Association. Michael Nolan is the athletic director of Ida B. Wells High School. They both join us now to discuss what's driving these increases and what's being done to address them.

Enjoying Faith, Hope, & Charity.A Spring Break 14-part NovelBy FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.“Mr. Braxton, you are a boy who lied his way into an all-girls Christian college so trusting you doesn't seem to be the wise course of action,” she smugly informed me.“Is it because I have a penis or that this place is a super-nova of female sexual repression?” I asked next. The accompanying freshman pack mule gulped.“I'll see you in forty-five minutes,” Christina informed me as she sauntered off. I gave her vagabond a wink and she winked back.Before I got in the room I got a message from Iona; all my free time was booked through nine tonight. Since I was almost late to class there were only four chairs open for me: three in the back and one in the midst of them. I chose to be polite.My Biology professor was Dr. Burns who looked old enough to have been around during the Scopes Monkey Trial and his thinking was about as conservative. It wasn't cutting edge science. Hell, I could barely see the Scientific Method from our Ivory Tower of Religious Intolerance. The girl to my left kept raising the hemline of her skirt until I verified she was wearing pink French cut panties and that kept me awake through this scholastic nightmare.Christina was waiting for me when I came out, minus her servant (classes had just been let out so she hadn't snared one yet), but she'd gained three sidekicks who looked upon me with varying degrees of amusement and contempt. The shortest of them, a sexy brunette with a foxy-like face glared at me with ill-disguised hate, over what I had no idea.“Come on, Zane,” Christina said as she handed me her book bag, “time to face judgment.”“Face judgment?” I mused. “Are we really going there? I made an honest mistake and besides, isn't forgiveness of sins the prime Christian virtue?”Angry Girl grabbed my arm and yanked but the sad facts of physics and my contrariness kept her from moving me. The girl ground her teeth, on the cusp of rage.“Zane – come,” dictated Christina calmly. “Heaven, release him before he starts crying to the liberal media about physical abuse.” Heaven? Seriously, who names their daughter Heaven, I thought, then I remembered where I'm standing. I meekly went to Christina's side when Heaven released me, then we started making our way to the Administration Building.My phone went off and I checked the message and had to snicker. It was Iona and apparently the girls are starting to use my time as some sort of currency.“What was that all about?” another sidekick asked. This one was actually friendly. “I'm Chastity,” she identified herself.“Hey, Chastity,” I grinned back to her. “That was an enterprising freshman who is keeping track of which lady has requested my Handmaiden services, and now I'm apparently being swapped around.”“You are a whore,” snarled Angry Chick Heaven.“Listen,” I shot back, “this is your crazy tradition, not mine. I'm only doing what my upperclassmen are demanding of me. I'm acting like any other incoming freshman. But I have to admit…I haven't actually read the handbook yet.”“Let it be, Heaven,” advised Christina. “This will all be over in thirty minutes and he'll be gone.”On that note, I turned to the last unnamed senior. “So what's your name, if you would be so kind as to tell me?”“Faith,” she replied cautiously. I kept grinning.“I swear, if you ladies have a girl named Hope in your close circle of friend we should form an all-girls 80s-style punk rock band. I'll be the manager, constantly clashing with Christina over artistic differences,” I rambled on.“You are kind of a nut,” Chastity pointed out.“I'm on the verge of the shortest college career in history so I admit to being a bit nervous,” I confessed, and surprise of surprises, Chastity placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. Somehow that made Heaven angrier with me, which I didn't think was possible.Before I could delve into the psychoses of Heaven, we arrived at the Chancellor's office. I gave Christina her bag as the girls abandoned me once the secretary ushered me in with a disdainful sniff of her nose.Inside were six women but I only recognized two: Chancellor Dr. Melrose Bass and Ms. Goodswell, who also happened to be my assigned Spiritual Advisor.“Come in and sit down, Mr. Braxton,” commanded Dr. Bass. Since the only open chair was directly in front of her desk and flanked by the other chairs (so I'd be doubly flanked), I took my seat.“As you must now understand, there has been a horrible error,” the Chancellor continued. “To rectify this situation you will withdraw from Freedom Fellowship University effective immediately. Your tuition will, of course, be refunded.” She slid some papers in front of me.“I take it everyone knows who I am, ma'am, but who am I in the room with?” I inquired.“Sign the papers,” insisted Dr. Bass.“Can I think about this?” I inquired.“No,” she answered.“Are you sure?” I persisted.“Yes,” she snapped angrily.“Okay, then, I'm not signing,” I decided.Everyone stirred restlessly.“You don't have a choice,” one of the unnamed women in the room declared. “Security will hand you over to the Sheriff's Department as we remove you if you don't leave sensibly.”“That sounds like a lawsuit,” I noted.“You are mistaken, Mr. Braxton,” the Chancellor glared. I noticed the unnamed woman farthest from me looked less than convinced; that made her the college's lawyer.“Chancellor, I have a deep respect for you and for the school you so expertly shepherd. I'm not out to embarrass this institution.” I tried to relate to all of them.“The problem for you is that at no time in the registration process was I ever asked if I was male,” I began my argument. “I entered my first name in as Glenn; your computer system transcribed that over to Glenda. At no time did I attempt to deceive the administration. I also can call forth witnesses from my dorm floor that will testify that I clearly didn't understand this was a woman's institution of higher learning.”“You are being highly disruptive to the school and you've already been in one fight in your first four hours of school,” another unnamed member announced.“Pardon me, but I don't know who you are,” I asked the woman.“Dana Gorman, Head of Security and Dean of Athletics,” she snipped.“Coach Dana, I was not aware that anyone was hurt and since I wasn't supplied my Handbook until yesterday afternoon when I went to my dorm room, I had no idea about the Handmaiden's Duty. I did find my roommate pinned to the ground with three girls sitting on her while she screamed and cried. I pushed/kicked them away and picked her up. I acted with charity and compassion,” I put my best spin on the case as possible.“Dr. Josephine Sergeant, Dean of Sciences,” the other unnamed woman introduced herself. “I'm not sure how I can fit you into my program, Mr. Braxton. The corpses Advanced Biology students work on are all female.”“Doctor, I would imagine if I do become a doctor, I will have to work on women from time to time,” I countered.“Mr. Braxton, nothing good can come of your intransience. Sign the papers, take the fall off, and find another school more fitting to your nature and gender,” the Chancellor spoke.“I'll fight,” I replied.We had a still moment, then Ms. Goodswell cleared her throat.“Zane, why do you want to stay?”“Short answer: this school has nine hundred women and one me; what's not to love? Long version: my inheritance is based on me being eighteen and in a college of my Aunt's choosing. It is too late for me to get into another program this year so if I don't fight, I go broke. I have nothing to lose.”“Ms. Lane,” the Chancellor addressed her lawyer, “is there any reason we can't escort Mr. Braxton to the gates right now?” The attractive young lawyer brushed a stray strand of her lovely light brown hair before responding.“There does seem to be a flaw in the administration software. There is no sexual differentiation key. Medical files were submitted as required and they clearly identify him as being male so there was no indication of evasion on his part – we missed it. FFU can expel him if he doesn't leave of his own accord but he definitely has a lawsuit against us.”That gave people food for thought. It took Ms. Goodswell to save the day and I didn't really expect that.“Mr. Braxton, do you promise us to be an exemplary student if we allow you to stay out the semester?”“Of course,” I promised.“Well, we can't keep him where he is,” insisted Dana, shocked and angry.“We can keep him in his residence hall but place him in the Solarium. We can fix up something for him by tonight, and we have him cleared to use the fifth floor showers as schedules allow,” Ms. Goodswell suggested.“The place is a mess,” Dana grumbled.“I'll work to make it better as time allows,” I volunteered.“Mr. Braxton, wait outside while we discuss this,” commanded the Chancellor.I took my cue and left quickly. Christina and clique were sitting patiently waiting for me. She stood and made to leave.“I was told to wait here,” I informed her, which brought the whole troop up short.“What are we waiting for?” Christina inquired.“Oh, I have them over a barrel so I insisted they assign one of you to be my bed warmer for the rest of the week. They are debating on which one of you gets the honor,” I teased.“You bastard,” spat Heaven, getting in my face. “You are a vomitus piece of filth!”“Just for that, you are next,” I grinned devilishly at her.“Huh?” she looked far angrier than uncertain, “Next for what?”“Oh, during the upcoming sex orgy I host, you are ‘Next'. See,” I sighed dramatically, “I'm not likely to remember your name so when I call out ‘Next,' I mean you.”I had a split second to decide whether I'd duck or not. Training was screaming at me to half-step back while bringing up an arm to block but…POW! I staggered back to the wall and slumped halfway down to the floor. Heaven kept coming and kicked me twice in the shin before Chastity and Christina pulled her off me.She was still sputtering and growling when the Chancellor's door opened up and Ms. Gorman stepped out and closed it behind her.“What is going on here?” she hissed.“There was a misunderstanding,” Christina answered.“Actually, Heaven punched me after I deflected one of her insults,” I countered. “Now I have to ponder civil litigation.”“What?” Christina asked cautiously. Heaven was less diplomatic or restrained.“You provoked me,” she accused me.“Do you know word one about my sexual habits? Could you prove a believable threat to you or someone around you? Baring that, you just committed assault,” I informed Heaven.“You are willing to gamble we would betray Heaven to someone like you?” Faith threatened.“No,” Dana answered for me. “I have little doubt that Mr. Braxton has noted that all classes and administration rooms have cameras.” She seemed bitter about her own security procedures. The rest of the girl posse seemed equally unhappy except for…“Come on,” Chastity told me as she offered me a hand up. I took it and quickly was upright once more so that we were chest to chest.“Please don't do this, Zane,” she said evenly. Heaven scoffed.“Very well, Chastity, because it was you who requested it, but I do ask for one thing in return,” I told her.“Of course he wants something,” Heaven snarled sarcastically.“Actually, all I want is five minutes with Heaven,” I explained, and when Heaven rolled her eyes and Chastity looked uncomfortable, I added, “no physical contact at all, only sitting down and talking.”“She'll do it,” Christina agreed.“No!” balked Heaven.“You'll do it or be expelled and face possible jail time,” Ms. Gorman stated.“No,” it was my turn to say. “I was joking; I won't press charges against Heaven.”“She can still be expelled,” Dana insisted.“For what?” I asked. Dana looked at me cautiously. “Hell, we were just fooling around; right ladies?” No one said anything because to speak was to court the sin of falsehoods.“Yes,” said Christina, taking the plunge; the others nodded.Dana bored me into place with her gaze, weighing her options.“Keep it down out here,” she snapped to the room, “especially you young ladies. I expected better from you four.” The implication was that my penis exempted me from mature behavior.“Thank you,” Chastity told me.“It took the grand total of one word – please,” I explained. “I know it must be hard to believe but I'm not a total scumbag.”“Are you still going to make me pay for insulting Rio?” Christina mocked.“The week isn't over yet,” I pointed out. The resulting silence was interesting.Five minutes later the door opened and the women filed past. The second to last one out was the lawyer, Ms. Lane.“Mr. Braxton, we will have to get together to discuss some of your unique legal issues and liabilities next week,” she informed me.“I await you at your leisure, Ms. Lane. Whatever you need, I'll do my best to comply,” I smiled.“It will certainly be easier if you are compliant,” she smiled back before turning and heading into the hallway, my eyes watching the line on her stockings going from where her skirt's hemline revealed her shapely thighs down her muscular calves to her four-inch heels.“Temptation comes in many forms,” Ms. Goodswell said, interrupting me from the distraction of Ms. Lane's luscious posterior, a look that Ms. Lane caught as she smiled and turned out of sight.“In my admittedly limited experience, temptation is a result of dissatisfaction with one's circumstances, not a weakness of character,” I offered as an explanation.“As your spiritual counselor, I feel it is my duty to keep you on the straight and narrow,” Ms. Goodswell sighed with faux sufferance.“I don't mean to make things hard for you, Ms. Goodswell,” I jibbed.“Enough sexual innuendo for the moment, Zane; you've been given an opportunity so don't blow it…don't disappoint me,” Ms. Goodswell warned me while stabbing me in the chest with a well-manicured cherry gloss fingernail. I gave her a funny look.“What is it, Mr. Braxton?” she asked.“Oh, it is the fact that you are attempting the impossible, restoring my faith in organized Christianity…” I answered while fishing for her name.“Virginia,” Ms. Goodswell filled in the void of my unsubtle inquiry. “You ARE going to be trouble,” she said, but her smile belied any worry on her part.“Well, I must get to lunch. I have a deserving Mistress who demands that I spoon-feed her,” I told her as I moved to Christina and her cohorts.“Your room, seven o'clock, Zane. We'll be moving you to your new lodgings then,” Virginia instructed. I nodded my acknowledgement then headed off to my late lunch.As we crossed campus, we remained relatively quiet until we approached the Dining Hall.“You remain intriguing, Mr. Braxton,” Christina allowed.“I am equally drawn to you, you sanctimonious twat,” I bantered back, and the girl posse jerked in response.“I hope they house you in a deep, dark hole,” snapped Heaven.“I hope they do too,” I beamed at Heaven, “and I hope you have the only key.”“Why is that?” asked Chastity.“I'd let him starve to death,” Heaven grinned viciously. I kept my eyes on Heaven.“Well, if Heaven had the key, she could come down and torture me whenever she wanted,” I explained, and when Heaven licked her lips in anticipation, I added, “and she'd look so fetching in nothing but thin strips of black leather, high heels, and a whip in her hand as she scourged the sin out of me again and again….” I licked my lips sensually at Heaven, “and again.”Now all movement stopped; even the normally homicidal Heaven was caught up in the imagery (which she liked) and the other girls were wrapping their minds around the implications of either me on my knees, Heaven in leather, or us together.“You have a very sinful mind,” accused Faith.“I have never denied that,” I responded. “I'm a flawed creature in need of redemption – I admit that. Thankfully, I've chosen a religion based on forgiveness and second chances, then, eh?”Any further comments were interrupted by a girl running into me – more like almost running over me.“Zane! They didn't transubstantiate you into communion wafers,” Rio squealed, showing more womanly affection than I would have given her credit for.Rio didn't do a great job of being ‘surprised' when she noticed the girls around me. Heaven glared at Rio and I tried to shift myself between them but Christina intervened before anything happened.“Felon, I am in need of a stool to sit on; I'm tired,” Christina said. As she used the word 'felon,' she smirked at me. Rio flinched too.“Wouldn't you rather have me lie on my back so you can sit on my face so I can get you off? That way we could both eat lunch,” Rio sneered back. Christina didn't bite.“Make a seat, little felon,” Christina smiled. I had a sudden desire to miss lunch.“I've got this, Zane,” Rio told me as she touched my upper arm and pushed me toward the door.As I grudgingly walked away, I saw Rio get down on all fours on the grass and Christina take her seat. The best thing I could say about the situation was that Queen Christina didn't bounce up and down.Before I could come up with some rescue strategy, Iona corralled me and led me to the Handmaiden Mistress of the moment; Dove.Dove's food had grown cold and Iona had kept assuring her I was on my way so I set to my latest exercise in humility. Dove expected me to sit with her. I brushed her shoulder-length auburn hair aside and fed her mouthful after mouthful, using a napkin to tantalize her lips after every few bites, which Dove found enticing and the surrounding tables found romantic. I was getting the feeling that the girls were looking at this whole Handmaiden thing differently than I was.At three o'clock I made it to Soccer tryouts, forgetting one little gigantic complication – this was Christina's team. She and the coach decided that since they couldn't outright deny me the chance for a place on the team, they could make me target practice (aka goalie). I blocked eleven shots from established members of the team (they have Soccer/Football in Thailand) but number twelve got past me – I was off the team.At four came Archery tryouts and I was starting to feel the weight of being the true outsider here, and it got worse when I saw our Team Captain was Chastity Adams, aka Chastity of Team Christina. I turned to put my equipment up when Chastity called me over.“What are you doing, Zane?”“I've just finished having Christina use me as a crash test dummy,” I admitted. “I figured I'd save us both some time so that you could concentrate your efforts on people who might actually have a chance to be on the team.”“Zane, why don't you think I'd give you a chance?” Chastity asked quietly.“Will you give me a chance?” I wondered.“Not if you quit right now,” she pointed out.So, I gave it a shot and I leaned that I sucked at archery, but clearly not as bad as most of the other girls so Chastity tapped me as a competitive alternate, which meant I was to carry equipment and practice a lot – the newbie.“Why did you do this, let me on the team?” I inquired after the team announcements.“You aren't half bad,” she explained, then smiled and pointed out, “plus you will distract the other all-female teams.”“Thanks for the chance, Chastity,” I said as I shook her hand.“You are good-looking and funny, Zane, and the other girls will work harder so they can stick around you,” she responded while looking at me intently. “Now go, you have another team to try out for.” Sometimes I needed to be reminded that there are things a twenty-one-year-old could teach an eighteen-year-old.I barely made it to Karate tryouts (Marksmanship and Orientation were on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I didn't recognize our Team Leader but our coach was Dana Gorman, Head of Security. She eyed me with suspicion but it was nothing compared to the looks I got from the Team Sub-captain. I thought I recognized the face but I definitely recognized her ass and the hair weave – I'd put a foot in it when I kicked her off Rio – yeah me!I told them I knew some kick-boxing but Dana was not impressed so I was placed with the beginners group, which I proceeded to dominate utterly. Ten minutes of that and the Team Captain Wilhelmina Spellman put me in the second tier, where I went undefeated in our little sparing matches yet again.Willie wanted to put me on the first team but the girl whose ass I'd kicked vocally opposed her on it. Willie relented but only partially. After class, the sub-captain would judge my performance and get the final say if I was first-team material. I figured if I ripped out her still-beating heart and showed it to her, I had a fifty-fifty chance of making the squad.We squared off after the last girl left – the sub-Captain didn't want any witnesses. She was more skilled and had more emotional investment but I'd actually been in some real fights and was faster and stronger. As far as matches went, it was pretty intense. We went back and forth with no real advantage until she threw me by grabbing and tearing off my gi.Before she could capitalize I got in a kick to her gut and when she unfolded, I head-butted her, causing her nose to bleed. I pulled up and she rubbed her nose and looked at the blood.“Oh, God, I'm sorry. Let me go get someone,” I urged.“You hurt me,” she muttered. “Lord Jesus Christ, you hurt me,” she said angrily as I stepped forward. I was so overwhelmed with human compassion I didn't see the kick coming.I was dreaming of running errands to a close village which was something I got away with from time to time. It was a pleasant day if a little cold for daytime in the Thai uplands. The young widow I spent some time with was attending me and I was clearly lying back and enjoying some of our intimate foreplay. Her mouth felt warm and comforting on my little helmet, her tongue didn't twirl like it normally did…but I wasn't in Thailand anymore either.My jaw hurt but that was far less relevant than the pressure of the body I was feeling on my thighs, the warm, wet sensation around my cock, and the feel of hands on my shaft and stomach. I propped myself up and looked down at my crotch were our sub-captain looked up at me while keeping her bobbing rhythm going.“Stop,” I ordered her. She reluctantly agreed, her eyes warring with anger, shame, and lust. I imagine she was wondering about what kind of academic hell I was about to bring down on her or if she could get away with crying rape as she pushed herself back and rested on her haunches.“Take off your clothes,” I ordered next. That command staggered her but my gaze fixed her in place.“What are you going to do to me?” she said with a shaky voice.“I'm going to reciprocate what you've been doing to me. You gave me a great lesson and I want to return the favor – now strip.” She thought about it a moment, then did a quick striptease which brought me to my knees.“What's your name?” I inquired as she finished.“Cappadocia Davis,” she murmured as she met me at knee level. I started kissing her, drifting into chest contact and letting our hands roam free for several minutes. Cappy had a very passive-aggressive style and often mirrored what I did, all the signals of a confident virgin.Getting us down head to crotch took little effort as Cappy went back to administering her blowjob and I started working over her own sexual center. She only asked me to hurry once when I was spending time getting to know her thighs with delicate kisses. Though it was a bit rough, Cappadocia worked me furiously with strong hands, plump lips, and a fighter's stamina. On my end, I did all I could. I mapped out the pleasure lines along her thighs, across the groin, and farther along the stomach and sides, passing the breasts to the throat, ears and lips. Cappadocia expected a quick fuck and an equally quick departure. As it was, we missed dinner and I would almost be late for my room meeting.Before then, I explored Cappy fully. I kissed every ebony inch of her, from kneecap to navel; I took gentle tongue strokes to her lips, vagina, and especially the clit while not forgetting a little tantalization of her ass which drove her over the top to an orgasm by itself. Cappy was good enough to take my seed not once, but twice, though the first time she took most of it on her face.I sat there with two fingers stretching her lips apart while my tongue languidly worked on her labia and clitoris. I tickled the clit, sucking it with my lips, then blowing on it coolly. She learned how to swirl with her tongue once my cock was inside her mouth for a stronger sensation. Cappadocia liked a contest and we had the best of kinds; neither side won and a rematch was in order – definitely.“Cappadocia,” I began as I was getting my outdoor clothes on, “I don't think I'm ready for first team yet.”“Neither do I,” she responded after a few moments of thought.“I'd like to keep training for it, though. I'm not going to give up trying, no matter how many private sessions it takes.”“I have to agree, Zane. You are not yet ready and it is going to take a whole lot of private lessons to get you into 'first team' shape,” she nodded. I left with a sore jaw but thinking good thoughts. I'd made two teams and had a shot at two others, as long as no one shot me or sent me to get lost in the wilds with a false map.The Solarium (Why am I Living in a Glass House?)I raced across campus to my dorm only to discover a sad looking girl in a short terry cloth robe sitting on the outside steps with a half-full trash bag. She perked up when she saw me.“Zane,” she hailed me, “I want you to take out my trash.” Okay, that seemed kind of lame to me because the dumpster was thirty feet away so I had to think quickly.“Umm…” I looked her over.“Jolene,” she provided.“Jolene, this doesn't seem quite fair,” I pointed out, and I watched her deflate before me. “See,” I said as I took her bag of trash and headed for the dumpster, her tagging along, “maybe I should come by your place tonight around nine thirty and clean up your room for you. Does that sound like a more appropriate Handmaiden's duty?” The little lights went off in her eyes.“Yes,” she bobbed her head. “Yes, it sounds…amazing.” Without telling me her room number, she skipped off through the doors and went off to do God knows what. I went looking for Iona who, as I guessed, hooked me up with the girl's location. Gliding into my room after that was less satisfying.“You are late, Mr. Braxton,” Ms. Goodswell informed me.“Handmaiden's Duty,” I countered.“We've moved all your furniture to the Solarium on the top floor,” Dana rumbled. Solarium – top floor. Wasn't I on the top floor already? What was I getting into? That wasn't the most important thing at the moment, though.Rio sat on her bed, knees up, hugging a pillow and looking decidedly unhappy at the world. I turned to the two teachers and asked them for a minute with my old roomie. Dana grumbled but Virginia made her give us the space.“What's up, Rio?” I asked as I sat down at the foot of the bed. I knew what was wrong; I was abandoning her and I was not the first guy to do so. The only problem was, I wasn't those other guys.“Nothing's up, asshole,” she shot back. “I'm looking forward to not having you snore all night long. Plus, I'll be able to shower whenever I want,” she sniffled.“Oh, well, dealing with you has been a total pain in my ass too, Rio. It will be a relief to not have to wake up looking at you, your tattoos and all those body piercings,” I stated evenly.“Hey, I don't have any piercings anymore,” she pouted, hurt by the comment and its accuracy.“Well, I don't believe you, Rio. Sometime you will have to come up to the Solarium and show me just how wrong I am. I'll leave out a sleeping bag in case your city-bred ass gets lost and you can't figure out how to get back down after dark,” I joked.“Zane, if they find you sleeping with a girl, you'll get expelled,” Rio whispered.“Thank God you are not a girl, then, ya freak,” I grinned so she hit me with her pillow. Rio was sneering at me playfully as I left; we were still friends.Outside my room, I'd picked up an old friend, Barbie Lynn Masters, and with Virginia, Dana, and Iona, we trekked to the fifth floor, then up to the roof.Now, when they were designing this kind of dorm in the 1970s, the architect was on a 'Retro Victorian' kick. He envisioned a safe green haven for the girls to go to where they would be free to partake of nature's bounty without risking pesky urban menaces like rapists, thieves, and murderers.The Christian Elders liked the design so much, they transplanted it to the Virginia countryside. Of course, there aren't a lot of muggers in rural areas so the roof escapes weren't totally necessary or welcome by the student body and when the school built its twelve-foot-tall brick wall with security cameras around the entire facility, the need evaporated. Soon, all the Solariums were abandoned, the plants died, and not all the window panes were replaced.It was a pretty freaking miserable place at first glance and there was some suspicion that this was an indirect way to drive me out. But they clearly had avoided the Developing World and my long experience in it when thinking this through. I loved it. I had roughly eighty percent of the dorm building's floor space to play with. It would be a lot of work to fix it but I had been accidentally supplied with a ready and willing work force.Thank you, freshmen and Handmaiden's Duty, because amongst its other virtues, the Solarium was my room, and a freshman in a dorm room was immune to being summoned for Handmaiden Duty while in any such room unless required by a duty to go there. All I had to do was have Iona get the word out to our fellow freshman that my room was sanctuary and I was set.All that was tomorrow; tonight, I had a cold room with squirrels, maybe a raccoon or two, birds, spiders, roaches, and an assortment of other pests, plus my bed, dresser, and a wardrobe from the drama department. I had also secured the choice time of five forty-five to six as my bathroom time in the morning, and ten to ten-fifteen in the evening. How I would actually piss during the day was swept under the rug. Ms. Goodswell suggested I get a hall pass during class periods for safety's sake. College…hall pass…Did they think I should make up for missing high school?It was lights out in my domicile. The moon was waning and the sky was clear when I heard someone working the lock to my door at the bottom of the stairs. Five people had keys: I was one, Dana Gorman was another, Virginia Goodswell, and Chancellor Bass were two others, but none of them, I suspected. I spotted the faint moonlight playing across golden locks as my intruder drew close.“Hey,” Barbie Lynn whispered as she came to a stop by my bed. “I thought you might get cold so I brought you a quilt from storage.”“You are a life-saver, Barbie; I'm freezing in here. Why don't you put the quilt over me and climb in so it will warm up here faster and we can both get to sleep sooner,” I responded softly. It was a weak lie but it was really all Barbie needed; it was late summer in Virginia, after all.She spread out the quilt and started to get in.“Wait, you'll get your skirt wrinkled,” I cautioned her before she sat down. She nodded and stripped out of it, then completed the process by stripping off her shirt (no bra), socks, and shoes. As she snuggled up against me, she realized I was naked.“Oh, that doesn't seem fair,” Barbie giggled, so she wiggled around under the covers and tossed out her undies. “That's better.” I pulled her into my arms and I caught her stealing glances up at me as she pressed her hands against my chest.“We have all night,” I assured her, and that earned me a kiss. “Oh, and I have your missing panties in my book bag, courtesy of Rio.”I returned her kiss and soon we were wrapped around one another, engrossed in one another's erogenous zones (ear lobes, nipples, lips, and throats) as well as tempting fate with a little penal/vaginal contact.After she wrestled me against the headboard and took my member deep into her mouth we had a little session of 'try doing this and watch him squirm' until I finally lost control and erupted several times into her mouth.“Mmm…” Barbie Lynn murmured as she rolled some semen over her tongue, eyes lighting up as I smiled at her talent. “Jesus bless me, you taste nearly as good as you look. I want more!”“Next time we can swap cum,” I suggested to her. Barbie wrinkled her nose.“Doesn't that make you a homo?” she questioned. I forgave her ignorance due to cuteness.“You've tasted your juices on my lips but you are not a lesbian,” I pointed out. After a moment she nodded so I continued with, “all I want to do is taste it on your tongue, not someone else's on my tongue.” Telling her I'd given more than one blowjob didn't appear to be helpful at this time; I'm decidedly not heterosexual.“Oh…you're pretty smart for someone so young,” she smiled seductively. I cupped her face in one hand.“I may be young and smart, but you are far more beautiful – breathtakingly beautiful – than me and one heck of a teacher because you keep me wanting to learn more,” I heartily complimented her.I must have struck a chord because Barbie Lynn glowed from the inside out and virtually poured like tanned molten gold into my lap.“Fuck me,” she begged with sensual need.“What about your Pledge?” I questioned.“Fuck my ass,” she moaned, “it's not really cheating.” Yeah, right.“Okay, Barbie Lynn, but teaching you to like it isn't easy. I'm going to have to break you in all night long,” I warned her, but all I got was a violent trembling of anticipation which caused her to make my lap damp and my cock rebound to duty.We kissed deeply and with longing for over a minute, Barbie rocking in my lap, her labia brushing my cockhead.“Is it going to hurt?” she panted into my lips.“Yes. The first time you are going to scream, but I promise you I'll show you how good it can be,” I assured her. She gulped in fear but smiled with wanton lust in her eyes.I played with her pussy and my cock, doing tiny penetrations until Barbie lost it in a screaming, ear-splitting orgasm, “God loves me, God loves me, God Loves ME!!!!” She followed that up by collapsing against me and burying my face in her ample bosom. I couldn't help myself; I took an overly sensitive nipple into my lips.To Be Continued.By FinalStand for Literotica

As regular listeners to Unstoppable Mindset have observed, I have the opportunity to talk with a number of people referred to me by Sheldon Lewis, accessiBe's nonprofit coordinator. This episode includes one such person, Jagwe Muzafaru from Uganda. I will tell you upfront that you will need to listen pretty carefully to Jagwe as his Ugandan accent is quite pronounced, but he is quite articulate and I believe you will enjoy him.   Jagwe is nearly 27 years old. He has earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Computing. Due to burns when he was younger, his eyesight would classify him as low vision.   For a number of years, he has had an interest in sports. In 2021 he organized his company, Blind Football Uganda. Of course, “Football” is what we call “soccer” here in the States. Blind people playing Soccer/Football? Why not. I leave it to Jagwe to tell us all about how that is done. Believe me, the sport is every bit as competitive for blind people as for sighted people and teams.   I very much hope Jagwe's story will inspire you and help you to gain a broader dimension of blindness. Near the end of our time, Jagwe tells us how people can help support his efforts.     About the Guest:     Jagwe is a graduate of Makerere University (MUBS) class of 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Business Computing. He is the Founder and Chairman of Blind Football Uganda a Para football organisation governing, promoting and developing the game of Blind Football in Uganda, a para sport administrator and a disability inclusion advocate who began his Para sport career as a volunteer with Uganda Paralympic Committee in 2018.     Ways to connect with Jagwe:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muzafaru.jagwe Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/jagwe_muzafaru Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/jagwe_muzafaru Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jagwe_muzafaru Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jagwe-muzafaru-87ab69132 Link to GoFundMe effort for Uganda Blind Football, https://gofund.me/7a712989   Links about Blind Football, Uganda   CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/09/football/blind-football-uganda-spt-intl/index.html   Voice of America: https://www.voaafrica.com/a/6779597.html   Al Jazeera: https://youtu.be/i6hqF2z9qi0   Black Excellence Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8xd3qbEi5o   New Vision: https://www.newvision.co.ug/articledetails/135489/blind-football-sets-sight-on-2024-paralympic    The Observer: https://observer.ug/sports/75448-blind-football-giving-new-opportunities-to-visually-impaired   NTV Uganda: https://www.ntv.co.ug/ug/news/sports/blind-football-players-are-eying-international-competitions-3995476   Mazima news: https://mazima.ug/sports/uganda-set-to-start-national-blind-football-league/   Uganda Radio Network: https://ugandaradionetwork.net/story/ugand-set-to-start-national-blind-football-league   Beautiful news South Africa: https://www.facebook.com/1675691709362077/posts/3300601080204457/?flite=scwspnss&mibextid=u81vWr868JTqCiLD   Solutions now Africa: https://youtu.be/YHP7Ih1slgM     About the Host: Michael Hingson is a New York Times best-selling author, international lecturer, and Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe.

And here we are with another episode of unstoppable mindset. Today, we get to travel outside of the United States to meet with Jagwe Muzafaru and I'm hoping I'm pronouncing that mostly right if I'm not he'll correct me. He is a person who has become very much involved in Paralympics in Uganda, especially blind football and we're going to talk about that what it is and, and and hear other things from him as well. So Jagwe, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 02:00 Thank you. Thank you, Mike, for hearing addition and interest in what I do.   Michael Hingson ** 02:06 Well, so I want you to start if you would, by telling us about you as a young man, and growing up and all that kind of stuff. So have you been blind your whole life? And none truly   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 02:24 informed you My name is Jagwe Muzafaru. And I'm the founder and CEO but tell you about my story. I'm totally blind or blind. Yes, I did. And I have one of my left eye is the one which domain and this came as a result of from school with a good a good band on the left side of the body with fire and lift my I dealt with the left side that your essay has some site. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 03:03 but you are considered blind today. You are considered a person who is who is pretty much mostly blind, I assume.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 03:11 Yeah, but they consider me as somebody with low vision may be   Michael Hingson ** 03:16 okay with low vision is fine. We we bring them all together. So that's okay. So tell me about you growing up. So you went to school and all that and well, so tell us about you a little bit growing up.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 03:31 Yeah. I went to school. And growing up, I'm born in a family of about eight people by the last born in the family. And I grew up maybe being taken care of by mostly my brothers sisters around because our mom, too, has grown us simply alone. Because that day the alley when I was young, in the 90s and then she has been caring for us for over all those years up to now. So for the studying, I started up to University where I graduated as a in a budget with a bachelor's degree in business computing from Macquarie University. And for through the growing up. It's where I've been participating in several events, mostly in sports. And that's where the interest came in. And this really interest comes in from what I do what I run, carrying, because even at campus I used to spit in sports. But I suppose mostly especially global, and it's really I will be in is to also inventor into sports management as an administrator.   Michael Hingson ** 05:05 Okay, so tell us a little bit about what Goalball is.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 05:12 Football is a team sport that is played by three people on each side. And for Bobo, you roll the ball around, but the ball makes you roll the ball around sending it to, to open it. And if you miss the ball, they end up, they end up scoring a goal, or it's a goal, which is considered if they fail to block the ball from going into their neck. Okay? for it. It's played on a surface of 18 by 918 meters long by nine in width. And it's played by three people specifically, but all these people are all blindfolded.   Michael Hingson ** 05:55 There, they're blindfolded or, or they're blind.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 05:59 They're blind, they can be blind or visually impaired. But they are blind for it. Right.   Michael Hingson ** 06:05 So that every move some   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 06:07 people Yeah, they are on an equal ground. So yeah, for for sports, we use certain ones like that i applying and then blind. So where does it come from? It comes from the classes that they give us for be one of those people who have not no, uh, no level of sight, or they can't see anything, then forbid to those are the people we always consider, who have some sight who can even do that this is a shape of something oh, can tell that this is light. So for with the people were cited, slightly cited, and this bit is at least have some side. They can do we can easily read or the use large print. And these can be people who have albinism or people when your eyes simply damaged, or people have long sightedness or short sightedness. So that's how we are categorized. So if I use the blind, so nobody get confused the voltage.   Michael Hingson ** 07:19 Okay. So you got a bachelor's in business computing? And when did you get that degree?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 07:30 I graduated in 2019   Michael Hingson ** 07:32 and 2019. So how old are you now?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 07:36 I'm going to plug in 27 in August.   Michael Hingson ** 07:40 Okay, well, and early, happy birthday to you. I was just asking because I wanted to really just put everything in perspective, because you have really done a lot. Since graduating. And while you were in school, you have done a lot. And I think that's pretty interesting to really have some of those experiences. So you formed an organization? When did you form it? And what's the name of it? And what is it do?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 08:15 Yeah, I started the organization. It's called blind football, Uganda. And I started in 2021. So blind football Uganda, it's a two way organization. First, we run it as an NGO that advocates for a few things related to persons with visual impairments and blindness. And then on the other side, we run it as a sports federation. So on the Ugandan setting, we are recognized by you we are affiliated to Uganda only Paralympic Committee, and, and even which is a member of our National Council of Sports. And currently we are, we applied to for review, to be and also to affiliate and our FA in Uganda, which is Federation of Uganda Football Association, that is FIFA. And so blind football Uganda is a passport organizations that specifically govern, promote, develops, and, and make the sport of blind football and when I tell you about blind football, it's a sport or game that is played specifically by people who are blind or visually impaired depending on their category.   Michael Hingson ** 09:41 Well, now you've told us about gold ball. And I assume that blind football is different than gold ball. gold ball sounds more like well, I was gonna say it sounds more like soccer but, but what's the difference between gold ball and blind football?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 10:02 Yeah, the difference between Goldberg and blank Soccer is the way it's played. For Goldberg Goldberg is played on. It's a team sport, like blind football, but golf is played by three people. But blind football will play five people on a beach. For Bobo, we use hands, draw the ball, then the ball reaches the open ends. But for blind football, we specifically use the feet we kick   Michael Hingson ** 10:32 the ball, like with regular soccer.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 10:36 Yeah, it's like no more rigid Ahsoka. And to tell you about later about blind football, blind football is a modified sport from the game of food. So for those who may have been in knowing foods or food, so is, is also a no more like a sighted persons game is played on foot on my foot diameter by 20 meter surface which is also blind football size of a game. But the difference comes in with a with the rules that we use our rules for blind football are always modified in one way, as compared to as compared to the footstool site. There are some things that will remove that applied in footsore, which don't apply in blind football, for example, for status, the ball we used to play is a board that makes returning sound whenever it was. So this is, I haven't worked here with me. And I think I can   Michael Hingson ** 11:39 I hear that. And so, whenever the ball moves, that's when, whenever the ball moves, that's what what people here.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 11:50 Yeah, that's the sound that it creates. As the boat. Yeah, and as the book keeps play in play. So the person who always have the ball, he has to say, or he has to keep quiet play. And I you can imagine if somebody is blindfolded, and is blind, how can somebody play without being injured? So we have communicating words or rules that we have in play. One of them is the voice rule. So it's V OYV. Oy, it comes from a Spanish word, it is it. It's just an interpretation of a Spanish word, which we use to save go go. So for us, we use voivode. Why is it in Spanish because the game was developed in Spain in 1970s, around 1970s. So if I'm the one with the ball, I have to keep sailing and keep playing. So if Mike has the ball, Mike has to say void void. So that's how I can easily understand that Mike is coming from the side I and then find means of dodging, not colliding with him. So when I hear his voice Desna is going to come off in an offense or defense mode to just take the ball or take possession of the ball from you. So to prevent it, you have to do it. And before us, we have gates in our in our normally now game behind the goalkeepers the somebody who stands behind the goalkeepers and communicates to a player that you have reached this direction. You can shoot any reduce them awareness so that they know and reach a point that they can shoot a ball at any time. So that's how they structure the structure. But some things are moved, like offsides, we don't have offsides, we play for less than two minutes late, which is not the same for cited for football. For us we play for 15 minutes, one half is 15 and the other half is 15. Which makes a total awful time that in minutes. So in the past we have been playing for 20 minutes each half. But as per the modified rules for this year occupant 2015 25 We are playing for 15 minutes on this stuff. So 14 by 20. And the only side on the side of the photo meters we always have boards that cover the catch lines because if somebody is blind, there is no way you can throw the ball if the ball goes out. There is no way you can throw it when when they can see and about a team it's played on by five people on each side. But the goalkeeper is a sighted person. The four outfield players are always blind or are blindfolded, but the goalkeeper is a sighted person And then as I've told you, behind the goalkeeper there has to be a guide with Deluxe these people are playing. The sweet thing about it. When it comes to scoring goals, the four outfield players can score a goal and they can be considered. But they will keep Piven if you score as any goal, it can't be considered for reason of fairness. And some people always wonder, why do blind people have to be you know, they're blind. So how, why do you still have to blindfold them? It's because of the classification that we have. Because some may be have some little side as mainland. And in football or in sports, we always have to promote that thing of fair play. So we cover their eyes, to put them at a level of ground where everybody plays at a level ground. And the game is played by male and female categories.   Michael Hingson ** 15:59 But they're separate teams. So you don't have male and female on the same team? Or do you   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 16:05 know, we don't have male on the same team? They feel differently. But when it comes to training for inclusive matches, you can do it but for official matches, standard matches. They're separate teams.   Michael Hingson ** 16:22 So I'm curious, why did they cut the time from 20 minutes and a half to 15 minutes and a half?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 16:29 I personally I don't sit on the on the on the assembly. Because internationally, you have to be a member of the International blind spots association. So for me, I'm at the receiving end, I didn't really get to know why they cut it. And Nick, as began this year, in January, last year in Vietnam, and   Michael Hingson ** 16:55 so now so when again, we're talking about blind football or what we call in the United States Soccer, right? Yeah, right. Right. Well, flying football is.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 17:12 Yeah, it's it should stay as well. Because when you consider your use you your direction like football, what you consider as football. It's used if you play with hands, which is?   Michael Hingson ** 17:25 Yeah. Yeah, well, no, I understand. And in most parts of the world, it is football, not soccer. So it's okay. So now, how do people? How do people know where the goal is? So you're playing and everyone is being very active? And they're trying to get the ball or stop the ball and so on. But how do you know where the goal is? Does the goalkeeper make sound? Is there some other sounds so that people know where the goal is compared to where they are? Yeah,   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 17:57 that's something I've been, I've talked about that forever. Every game has to get a guide. And the guide is a sighted person. So that's the person who communicates to the players when they play, it seem to them the direction of the goal, it seems to them when to shoot, or how to move, if they are going to reach the goal line or to score the state gate. They roll the game.   Michael Hingson ** 18:27 So how do people know when they're near the goal?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 18:31 Yeah, it's the guide still tells them because the goalkeeper doesn't have to. That's not his work,   Michael Hingson ** 18:37 right? So there are guides that tell you that that that notify people   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 18:43 Yeah, they stand behind the goals, like they give them two meters by two meters by length, and then five meters maybe by windy. This this is how they will always stand behind the goal line. So in that way, he can tell that you have reached the goal. You can shoot that that place then you should Okay.   Michael Hingson ** 19:15 All right. It's It's fascinating and certainly it is very I assume it's as aggressive a game as regular foot sighted said that people's football in Uganda.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 19:30 Yeah, yeah. aggressive and very, because Uganda is a football loving country. People have really embraced it.   Michael Hingson ** 19:40 Well, and that's, that's fine. So how many blind football teams are there in Uganda at this point?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 19:53 At this point, we have eight teams that I can safely if I say that tomorrow we have a competition We have ATMs and these teams are spread to Blue bullies then in the north, Northern Uganda. We have a team in in the center in the central area. We are situated in two universities, the central like Kampala, we have one team two teams in Macquarie University and then even CHambo University. And then we have also team in camera the cameras in the east of Uganda. After ginger, you go to calmly Oregon. So Camilla is in the East. And we also have a team there. And as of this week, I've spent a day a week in sorrow desert is almost like 292 kilometers in the East Far East, where we have fully organized and set up new team in cirrhotic districts and as they go on, we are many as but as per the current working on with my colleagues, we are remaining with to two venues to areas that we are going to introduce playing football and then we shall set up teams there from the age when they will increase either to 12 or 13. So we are remaining with Lila realize she is in the north and then cover a cover the district and Cavalli is in the west. It comes   Michael Hingson ** 21:34 you have a teens now but you're growing, which is exciting. So how, how big are the crowds that come to watch you play?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 21:46 So far, most of the crowds that we are for this year as policia the crowds, we have organized the games have been specifically crowded within school settings, like secondary schools, to bring people aware about the sport and know how it is played. The crowds are very, very exciting. And the crowds are very, very many when we organize them. But our major product is various the blind football championship and that happens always on the 14th of October. We either do it on the 14th or 15th. As reserved word said they are white king, one of the two days but this year we are going to do it on on the 14th of October. So on the 14th Yeah, we always have so many people come around and then B is j s AP. is the major product that we sell the blank Bowl championship every year.   Michael Hingson ** 22:50 How many people do you think there will be   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 22:51 this year? This year? I can't tell because it's an open ground. So even if people are just passing they kind of come around and and see. Yeah, so I can tell at the moment. And lucky enough because of the activeness. We have. We have a team that has already requested it's going to come from Nairobi, Kenya, to be part of this year's don't I mean, because they understood that in Kenya, the blind football is not so active. And the people want to play. So when one of the coordinators there requested to me and we accepted, they are coming to Uganda, so we may have to have nine teams if they also come around.   Michael Hingson ** 23:39 How many people came to the championship game last year?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 23:43 That is we didn't record their numbers. Because the best game but they it was they were very, they are known so so many because we used an indoor beach. It was an indoor Beach, UK. And for Anindo it's always resisted the numbers but I can tell from the media. Because so many media persons were with us. They come around on that day.   Michael Hingson ** 24:13 You get a lot of people who are fans of sighted football who also come to see blind football because it's still a football game.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 24:23 Yeah. And so when by the way most of our spectators are always people who are sighted. Most of them well, yeah, because just as coming around wearing a jersey branded blind football, Uganda so somebody starts to imagine these guys are blind. They are going to play football. How do they play? So that intriguing mind forces somebody to come and see and stay around?   Michael Hingson ** 24:54 Why did you specifically start the organization blind football I'm what what really made you do that?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 25:07 For the first instance, is to give it was to widen the opportunities for playing opportunities for persons with visual impairments, to see that they can play some more from global and athletics, because those two spots are traditionally then in schools that have been here, but they don't observe a given number of people, or they don't give an update. Appreciate it. So I looked at, why can't we? Why can't I set up something that you can see, anybody can relate with. And, and way wherever you move in every household, there is somebody who plays football, or there's somebody who talks about football on the day, even if they don't pay at least a support. So that inspired me to start but as well, on my personal grounds, I always looked at most of us when we left sports at the university, and then we come to the community, most of the sports activities always die and stop at the university. So for me, I looked at why can't we start something and then be the spearhead that Oh, something that can grow and then be of great value to our communities. So from universities, I looked at, come into community, I looked at doing sports as a career itself, and inspire people to come and join the sports environment. Because in Uganda, our focus is always on jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs are never easy to get. So I looked at sports as a shortcut, which can offer solutions to our socio economic difficulties that we have in our community, because sports is a universal language that you can use to promote or campaigned for anything. You can use words to promote jobs, your job creation, because of the network you may be having. You can use food as, as therapy, you can use sports as a health or well being activity in all aspects. So those are majorly the reasons why I strictly decided to form and start that organization and promote event planning.   Michael Hingson ** 27:32 Now, the real serious question is, do you play blind football today?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 27:42 I learned probably, I don't prefer it because I can't be a chairman, or a president for you. Most of the people who are you can't be I can't be a president of something. And then you double, double, double desk yourself. Because there are some things that need to be administrative specifically. And you have to handle administrative work. So for me, my role is on the technical side, and administrative work. So I find other people play, I identify other people play,   Michael Hingson ** 28:18 as they would say here, if you played it would be a conflict of interest, because then you're the chair, you're the chairman, the chair of the company, but you are playing for a team that is really kind of hard to separate. So that doesn't work. Do you play for fun? Or what do you do for exercise and for fun than when you're not being the chairman of the organization?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 28:44 And yeah, I do I do run. I do run for a while. I do some other physical exercises. But there is no rule that refuses me to play football, but I do even play blind football, for fun. And I also play some football with some sighted person persons. But for blind football. I only play like if these an inclusive match. And they want us to play like CEOs. Like they want as we are demonstrating to chair chairman of companies there. Yeah, then I can come in. But but for for the exact matches, standard matches. No rule refuses me to play, but I really look at it as anyway, even in Uganda, I think I'm the only leader in sport who is who is not playing on the pitch most of them find themselves playing.   Michael Hingson ** 29:47 But I think you take a right position because it's very difficult to be the chairman of the organization and then be on a particular team. It can be done difficult to sell. It's I'm glad that you, you don't know, when you're playing the CEO with CEOs and you're doing those kinds of fun matches. The real question is, do you win?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 30:14 It's it's never about winning. It's about just the giving the people the feel of what other Shapiro, what the, our, our our players go through, and giving them an understanding. Because for them, most of the CEOs, they can't even play for five minutes. They can play in minutes. So   Michael Hingson ** 30:41 they don't exercise that much.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 30:44 residentially so you have to be linear to them as well.   Michael Hingson ** 30:49 Make them work, make them work. But what how do they react, though? Do they, when when they're done? Do they go away with a different idea? Does it help teach them? Do they go away and decide to support what you're doing, and they, they have a whole different picture than when they started?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 31:15 Yeah, they are always interested. And they feel intrigued about how the game is played. And if they find it even more difficult to play it. And they always tell me that blind people are special people. And most of them always helped me and always want to come on board. And we have started a few relationships here and there with them work for free. For instance, we have started the a good few clubs. And they are willing to support a few of our activities. And also they invite us to the events, like we can demonstrate to more people to know about this boat. And that's how we we are moving on one step at a time.   Michael Hingson ** 32:12 I must admit that. I don't exercise enough to be able to play it. But I enjoy hearing about it. And I've I've not ever learned all the rules of football. I've learned more about us football than football in Europe and Africa and so on. But I do think it's fascinating. I was in New Zealand and actually learned about rugby a little bit, which is which is a totally different thing and probably even more aggressive than playing either kind of football, but it's still a there's always strategy. And that's what I'm fascinated about with sports, the strategies that that people have and that the teams work out. Yeah. So it makes it so it makes it makes it a lot of fun, which I think is important to do. So for you. You've now had this organization going what, four years, you started it in 2019 or 2018 rather.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 33:21 20 official   Michael Hingson ** 33:22 2021 2021 So it's only two years old. Okay. So what are what   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 33:30 was 17? I'm sorry, it was 17. June.   Michael Hingson ** 33:37 Okay. Oh, my gosh. So, two years. And right now, we're recording this on June 22. So two years and five days Happy Birthday. Well, what are your plans for the organization? What are your plans for the organization going forward?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 33:59 Yeah, first, for the plans, we have water. Bill continuing is expanding the game to all the more parts of the country so that more people can really get the chance to watch it and even play. So we are reaching more other places. Besides that, we are now rolling in more events for people to get the opportunity to participate fully in a spot. For the for status, we are going to include under age competition, and one of it is for primary schools next year. And from that we are going to also have a second School Championship. I believe if you're in the US, that's the High School Championship. So in Uganda we use secondary. So we are going to rule out as a secondary school championship and then even at at the latest If we want to have another another tournament, which we will be in for entire university, so universities will compete within themselves, and then our major product of the nationally will stay there. So those are the few things that we want to do in the competition side. But when you go to the technical side, we want to continue training more coaches, more people who can help us in the technical aspects, so that the every area has someone to, to coach, it's a really tear, some and costly if we have, you have some someone has a team, and he wants to play, but it's almost 200 kilometers from you. And you tell him come to this place where I am, which is very expensive, he comes and lands one day goes back goes. So it's not really impacting. So you want to leave every area so that if somebody calls from any area, we just contacted him, we have a coordinator or a coach there, go to this person, it says question you. And we also now focusing on having more ladies on the team. Even today, I've been chatting with at least four ladies, and they are willing and today we have the new status sessions. And we shall be progressing and see how they will perform. Then administratively I want to is because we are housed on the Uganda Olympic committee we share the address, they just give us a small desk where we can be so I'm looking at also going independent, we get our own office is separate from any other body where anybody can freely come. If possible, if you get maybe land where someone can come I come there to lay around and also can do anything related to blind football activities there from there. So that's that's those are some of our plans.   Michael Hingson ** 37:15 Now, in general, not talking only about blind football specifically but are their professional teams teams where the players and everyone get Pele and get paid for doing what they do.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 37:31 It's only I believe it's only in Europe and maybe okay, I don't know about but in Europe it's really very very, very active very active   Michael Hingson ** 37:42 out there yet.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 37:45 Yeah, they have sponsors on board everything but for Ugandan setting, we only play specifically just for fun, and there is no payment that is involved   Michael Hingson ** 38:00 about the coordinators, the coaches   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 38:04 and I don't pay anyone at the moment we don't pay any. But for for first what we do is like I told you that we do some advocacy work. So we use bots to to serve a few things that players may not be having or may not be accurate with for example, if someone needs a white cane so we corroborate with the organization's they get us the white cans for free if someone is needed agree with a puzzle coordinate with an organization's that you have within the blind community. And then we try to source some of the materials for them as as part of their sports aspects. Yes. And also we advocate and try to give them a few learning tips like on financial literacy, how can you start something you initial blind? How can you so we just share but we collaborate with a few organizations. Yeah. And then we try to do it.   Michael Hingson ** 39:06 About expenses like you talked about if somebody has to go a long ways to to get to be able to play is there any help to assist with expenses and so on for them?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 39:21 Yeah, for for our competitions, like if we organize an event, like we organize an event on 14th October always invite players from all over the country. So for us we'll get in the transportation and accommodation and feeding. So everybody who comes give them transport, accommodation and feeding. But for allowances like refunds on transport we don't normally give them. We help them in that way. And also have collaborations with a few led organizations that, that help us to in fundraising, for resources that we use, like water, feeding, and then we end up executing settings. So   Michael Hingson ** 40:20 how do you actually promote the organization? How do you make it known that you that you need money? Or what the organization does? How much? Are you able to talk about it and get people to take an interest? How do you promote it?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 40:38 I promoted firstly, with social media, through social media platforms, on our own social media platforms, on all social media platforms, then also on radio, TV and print. So in some instances, like when we have an event, just like we have one, in October, we start to visit Organized TV stations, radio stations, and then they give us time. And as soon as they were granted permission to be on air, it's when they sell, I will promote, and I've got the chance to be on several interviews, and booked about this spot and leaving the organization. Even in the US, I've been with the CNN, I've been with the Voice of America. I've been with the Al Jazeera, and they'll be in a week black excellence. So those are the media outlets that and work for the US. Organizations have never reached out to them. They just saw the work we do on social media. And then they came and interviewed us. But for our our Ugandan settings, even some of them, like 80% of them have not contacted them directly that I want at a time, or I want some publish about this. It's them have come out and come to me. And so is love enabled to promote the sport. Yeah, it's unfortunate that myself, I've never seen myself live on air. And even when some some of the recordings are taken, they just find me either moving or people just don't always say on TV. And I asked them when not remember, because nobody will tell you that just published. Suggested recordings of the interviews. I do. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 42:37 Have you ever looked on YouTube to see if any of them are there? So you can watch them?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 42:43 Yeah, I guess follow up afterwards. Yeah. They're always they watch them? And yeah, I see them.   Michael Hingson ** 42:51 Yeah, the fact is with television, a lot of times you just don't know exactly when it's going to air and like when I've been interviewed, I'll ask people when it will appear. And it can be on a newscast. But it could be anywhere within an hour or half hour newscast. And unless you have the time to watch the entire newscast, you don't always see it. So it's kind of one of the things that you have to deal with. Well, so you know, but it's kind of more important. Well, it's important that you get to see it so you can evaluate how you're doing and get a chance to listen and think about how you might do it better, which would be a reason for doing it. But it is more important that other people get to see you and and I'm sure that if somebody had some great thought for you, they would tell you about it. But you know, one of the questions that comes to mind is that the Para Olympics is coming up next August of when a year in Paris. Are you looking to try to to go there? And is there any kind of blind football matches in the Paralympics? Yeah.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 44:03 And what I have to first inform you is blind football as a sport is the only football currently in the Olympics Games is the only football that is there. So next year, yeah, it's going to be it's going to feature but as per the qualification window, I think we are very late for it. We woke up late. And to the west, we first have to be members of the international body and then we start to play sanction games. And by May it's when I first applied to the first regiments. It's when I first applied to the organ to the to the the national body to be for membership and there are some things they still requested, which I'm working on. One of them is the anti doping rules. For our country, because we have to come up with a code that we shall also be following. So we are working on it close with a few patronizing spots to see that we have it done. So for next year, we shall not feature in. We have not been Paris as blind football, Uganda. But we are in for 2028, which will be staged for Los Angeles, Angeles, I believe next year if yes, ingredient eight. So I believe next year, if everything is sorted, within the international body, we are going to start to play international sanction games and we shall see how we shall fight to qualify for 28. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 45:49 And some of your players play for other countries next year? Or do you see that even as a possibility?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 45:56 I have no problem with it personally, if a country approaches them, and you would like to, because for us, we are not, most of my prayers are not yet registered in a country that are based on international database. So if any country approaches us, or any country or someone approaches the country, individually, it's okay. For us, we are open to give them that opportunity so that they can venture and seize. We spots sports can help them to see how their legs contain.   Michael Hingson ** 46:37 What kinds of challenges do people who are blind or low vision face and going into sports, say in Uganda, like blind football or other things are, are there efforts to encourage that or do families and people still really say, well, blind people can't do that, and so they discourage it.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 46:59 Ah, it all ends with our participation, as as long as people are seeing plain, people easily understand that these guys can play. And whenever they see them on pitch, they always understand that I was scared to tell my child to go play because I thought they can collide. But when they see themselves on the pitch without any collusion, so people just encourage them to keep playing. So it's the mindset, which prevents them, but what if you're the challenges one of them is the accessibility it comes to the road, it comes to the technology, it comes even in communication. So, most of our people are known, when it comes to moving to the fields, they are not so visually impaired friendly, most of the fields we have even when it comes to playing, they are not visually impaired, or friendly moving in playing around or even just walking around them, you can find one peach is shared by almost four teams of sighted people. So when it comes to playing, you know, our game is a silent game. So, it always disturbs us in the training and you have to fight for the spaces. Another thing can be on the aspect to the finances, there is a lot of expectation because I if somebody sees you on TV, somebody hears you on radio, and there was CZ on international channels. So so someone comes, may reach out to you like on Facebook or, or email and say I want to be part of blind football Uganda, how can I can how can you involve me? So most of the people work with come with a high expectation of money because of a huge publicity we have. I had to devise the end up when we talk to them, we end up finding that we can't we can like work with them because of the aspect. You can't pay them at the moment. Yeah, if someone can be can you be a volunteer? It says I'm past volunteering. Legit. Some of us are volunteer. This was for over ever since we started like professional careers. Yeah, those are issue challenges.   Michael Hingson ** 49:43 It's an it's a new sport. Really. It's it's not been around long. And it is a process and a lot of times I can imagine people are impatient and when they they need to understand that it's new and it's a and sometimes it's a rare A person who will take the step back and say, Okay, I'll help try to make it better. And maybe someday there'll be money to pay. But it isn't all about money. As you said, the players are also playing for fun, which I think is really important and really pretty cool. So I'm glad that people do play it for fun. And so far that's working. And you'll grow. I mean, it will, it will continue to grow, and there'll be more substance later. So what can people do to help support what you do? And what kind of message do you want those people who listen to unstoppable mindset to hear?   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 50:45 First that as, as blind football, we are challenged with the equipment side. So to get the equipment that we used to play in Uganda, and Africa at large, it's a little bit had an expensive, so work with. Yeah, so I began a fundraiser. It's on GoFundMe, we are only soliciting for only to buy standard equipments from eyeshades from the bulls. Even make our own boards that we use on the pitch, everything that you may understand that is used in soccer, we need support for it, because as I've told you have a teams spread over every region. So our fight is to have more and more teams, more teams with equipment supplied to them. So that's our fight. So if someone wants to help us in one way or the other, we can go to GoFundMe look for look for blend football. And then they can cast any donation. And I can assure you that the money goes to the right cause already we have like 700 700 euros that have been so far donated to us. And we are moving anyway, we are moving. But more so if someone needs Oh, is willing, who can be willing to come to Uganda Oh, it can come as a by the way, you somebody's coming to Uganda, then they come and give us just the knowledge of bland food. Because I've I've never been of all the people I work with even me, we have never got that knowledge of how to play standard out, like the standard training. We have never got that knowledge, we use YouTube tutorials, and even the internet. So we read, research, and then use it but we have never got like, experience knowledge with a professional. So if someone is willing to come to Uganda, just to give us some little knowledge about the game, how we can improve here and there and give us tips on how we can play then we also invite you to do Uganda.   Michael Hingson ** 53:16 Well, okay, so tell me how people can reach out to you and learn and contact you and learn more about the program and so on. If you would spell your first and last name and then tell us how they can reach out to you. I would appreciate that.   Jagwe Muzafaru ** 53:34 My name is Jagwe Muzafaru, and if you want to reach out to   Michael Hingson ** 53:39 do if you could spell if you could stop.

Why are they used? How do SKC use them as a basis of structure and what their value is. A deep dive into the somewhat anemic SKC homegrown situation. Why does it exist? Is the Academy working?

The World Cup of Wrestling?! The World Cup in Qatar has just ended and we thought that this would be an opportune time to discuss our thoughts on the World Cup of Soccer/Football and how it compares to the events that we love. Tariq talks about going to watch a World Cup match live in 2002 and Jim talks about watching a league game in Europe. But none of that holds a candle to what was on display in this week's match. If you have ever questioned whether wrestlers were truly athletes, this is absolutely the match for you. In this match, Will Ospreay does some things that seem humanely impossible. But what is most interesting to Jim was Tariq's take on women's place in society, what do you think? Have we gone too far in the other direction? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sixmantagpodcast/support

Coach Autumn Lockwood, from the University of Houston, puts her Toes on the Line in today's episode.  Coach Lockwood talks about her Three-Tier Athlete Self-Accountability Model System, and how she helps develop her athletes' qualities in: Self-Awareness, Self-Assessment, and Self-Leadership. She explains how she attacks the psychological aspect of her athletes' development, and how she develops their sense of self accountability whilst training. Coach Lockwood not only has a passion to develop her athletes to succeed in their sport, but to also get them to fully develop as a person and to be able to identify markers for self-improvement and continuing to work towards their primary goal. As we get deeper into the conversation, Coach Lockwood touches base on how she specifies her athletes' development with daily checklists to make sure her athletes are guided on the right path to success.  She also talks about her ACL specialization training that she does with her two sports: Women Basketball & Soccer. And the latter portion of the episode we share information on how we utilize GPS tracking with our athletes (Soccer & Football).

This week, in a clear win for women in sports, a landmark decision was reached. Women who play soccer for the United States will now earn the same amount as men in a landmark equal pay win. In honor of this momentous moment, we are sharing a podcast from The Mediacasters community - The Forgotten XI. This show, hosted by Chris Mcglynn, a gentleman, soccer-lover and ally to women everywhere. He was perturbed by the fact that the men's team gets so much more attention and money than the women's team, even though the women's team was knocking it out of the park, winning world cup after world cup. He was inspired to start this podcast to unveil the often ignored and forgotten history of The Women's Game of Soccer / Football. We love it and know you will too! Show Description: Women have been playing football for 150 years. It's always been political. Rapinoe is not the first to cause controversy. We go back to the beginning to tell the stories of the players and teams that made history. We explore everything we can find from the first female pro teams to the forgotten World Cups. The Forgotten XI: Episode #8: Bella Ciao! (originally published in December 2019 and shared with permission)In 1932, a group of high school girls play a soccer match in Italy. But this is Mussolini's Italy. These young women are challenging not just sexism, but fascism. In so doing, they set off a series of remarkable events which will forever change Italy and women's football around the world.Many thanks to Marco Giani for all his research on GFC Milan, follow him on twitter @calciatrici1933Follow Forgotten XI on Twitter here @forgottenxiWatch The 1970 Women's World Cup (highlights)Share this episode!Join the conversation, see PHOTOS OF THE TEAMS mentioned in this episode and, if you like, help with research.
