All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
For every Ying there is a Yang. To have good then you must be bad. If God does exist, then the Devil must admittedly exist also. Even in the physical world, everything seems to have a polar opposite. When it comes to kickball, SCK and the Thursday Night League are each others opposing forces.
Sun City Kickball may not be El Paso's "original kickball league", but they are now undoubtedly the biggest & best kickball league in El Paso. With a monster 28 teams, compared to the minuscule 12 team Thursday league, to compare the two is not only ludicrous, it is flat out ridiculous. Frankly the proof is in the pudding. The blueprint for SCK has simply been...don't do what Thursday does.
The Thursday night league could have been and should have been one of the biggest sports leagues in El Paso. However league management has kept this league from becoming anything meaningful. Their tyrannical obsessions, arbitrary decisions, and discriminatory ways have made this league defunct.
Sadly the players are the only ones who suffer in this situation.However many players still continue to sign-up for Thursday nights, only because they love to play kickball and that is the only night that fits into their schedule. While other teams dig kickball so much they are just looking to play multiple times a week. At the point in time, the Thursday Night league is the only option for Thursday night kickball, but hopefully this won't always be the case.
To add another dimension to the blog, IJK will be following the trials and tribulations of three pieced together teams from the best and brightest SCK players, currently playing Thursday nights. It should be very interesting to see how these teams will fair. Stay Tuned!

I hope you are not counting that joke of a team that I am on. The team consists of only 2 current SCK players, and 1 former SCK player.
After 1 game of thursday night kickball left me appreciating SCK so much more in nearly every level.
Only reason I will keep playing on Thursday nights is because I LOVE playing kickball.
Good Luck to Party Crashers and Nexus(Balls to the Wall, Confussed Kixx, who knows what there next team name will be) this season. Hope they play in the championship to prove not only in popular opinion but by actual competition that SCK houses the best players in town!!
