Hey Everyone this is my first blog so I'm not exactly sure how to post one but I hope this will interest you guys..

As I'm pretty sure most of you guys never heard of the US National Soccer Team for the Deaf and I'm sure you never expected to hear of them! Well my name is michael west and I'm a member of the team. We just returned from our trip to Greece to play in the first deaf world cup tournament from June 26th to July 14th in which we finished 4th out of 16 teams... which gave us the world ranking of #4! This was the best finish we've ever had and much better than we expected to do

David Stern wants to raise the age limit for kids to enter the NBA. Some are unhappy about it. If you don't like it, get over it. Click here to comment in the forum.

This is a great thing for the NBA, the NCAA and most importantly the kids. I don't want to hear that argument that the kids need to be able to "take care of their families" and that they are in bad situations. Allowing kids to go to the pros at an early age is a good thing for very few kids and those are the ones you hear about. LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Kobe. What about the countless others who didn't make it in the NBA or NFL that now don't have a college degree or are in jail?

Like Maurice Clarett. The former Ohio State running back wanted to go to the NFL and challenged the rule and lost. He had to take a year off from football and wasn't in school. He ended up not making an NFL roster and then went to jail for a stupid crime. He should have been in school the whole time and maybe none of that would have happened.

I don't want to hear that stuff about an 18-year-old being able to fight in war but not go to the NBA. Raise the age limit for joining the military. Someone that young shouldn't be at war or in the NBA.

We need to make our kids aware that education is first, and then sports. What happens if a kid gets hurt? What do they have to fall back on? College is important. You can't be a doctor or lawyer without going to college. Most occupations require a college degree. The NBA is just saying give college a try for about two years. That's all.

Try this: Go to Duke or UNC hospitals and tell them you want to be a surgeon but you didn't go to medical school. Tell them you have all the skills you need because you learned in high school and you were a stand out student. Tell them if they don't allow you to work you'll take them to court. Try that and see if you get a job as a surgeon. You're right, they probably won't hire you. So why should the NBA?
