Damn, that's awful, Reuben. That's like the old habit of lining kids up 
against the backstop and having the two most popular kids pick teams, one by 
one. Talk about getting your self-esteem kicked in the ass. I was always 
among the last ones picked, and not even because I was a poor athlete - it 
was because I was a "Yankee" and talked "funny".
Sad too that PE teachers still allow this system to flourish when it comes to 
choosing teams for playground sports.
