Starting family businesses — good or bad? adidas has an interesting history. Adolf Dassler founded the company after he returned from World War I. His family supported his venture, but a few decades later, altercations caused his business partner brother, Rudolf, left and began Puma. The company is now the second largest sports apparel brand and is the official uniform of the Notre Dame football team. Their current advertising campaign, “Impossible is Nothing” — is BusinessBoomer’s quote of the day! Speaking of families, watch the wonderful 1-minute commercial with Muhammad Ali, voiced-over by his daughter, Laila Ali.

I’m trying to set up a sort of soccer net deal in my back yard, but with the woods right behind it, I need some form of a backstop net, but everything I find has been nets only, no rigging/poles. I really need a good place to get the rigging and poles but dont know where to look. Ideally, I would have a 20×30 backstop and a full sized regulation soccer net. Thanks in advance.

I think Iraq and George Bush and our forgien policy has nothing to do with the reason why the world hates us. Its because we dont care about futbol. They hate us because we call futbol soccer. They hate us cause we dont care about the sport. Nearly all Americans dont know who Cristiano Ronaldo is. I have to appoligize to Europeans and South Americans for my people not caring about futbol.
USA isnt racist USA is the only country with immigrants what so racist about allowing immigrants. We have the lowest hate crimes out of any nation in the world.

At what age did you start sports and other activities for your child?

My son is 3 years old. He’s done the infant mommy and me singing/art/gymboree type classes. At age 2 years, he was in toddler soccer which went way over his head (seemed geared for 3-4 year olds).

I’d like to put him in different activities, but I don’t want to pressure him or overwhelm him. So I’m a little curious. At what age did you start your kids on the following activities, if any at all?

Swimming
Music Lessons
Sports lessons (Tennis, golf, soccer, etc)
PeeWee/Little League (football, baseball, etc.)
Martial Arts (karate, kung fu, etc.)
Anything else?

I have a 5 year old niece who’s been in swimming and karate since the age of 3 and tennis since age 4. So at age 5, in addition to kindergarten, she’s in swimming, tennis, and karate. And her mom wants to put her in piano classes. To me that seems like a lot…3-4 extra curricular activities in addition to school at age 5? Is that normal?

How much is too much (or too little)?

I find it hard to believe and convenient that Japan wins the women’s soccer final yesterday.

From the looks of it, USA players were much bigger and talented than the Japan players.

Could the Japanese government bribed the USA women’s players to lose the match for major cash?

Team USA (girls) already dominate womens soccer. How many years before Team USA (mens) dominates soccer?

I would guess that we will have the World Cup in our possession within the next 8 years.
