Is it Ok to have a little schadenfreude now and then?
Local Dad put together new Travel Team (registered as B) in our town (where granted there is a dearth of TB softball due to reasons I wont go into), mostly girls from local rec league and some have played in a very low level "travel" league (at least those players and parents considered it TB, run limits, 4 OF, etc., it was glorified rec). He basically calls, begs, cajoles every somewhat talented girl from the rec league within age range he is looking for . . . except DD, who plays same position as his DD. DDs go to school together, have played with/against each other in rec league, AS, etc.
they have played 4 games, they are 1-3, combined score in three losses 46-8, including a loss to the B team in the age bracket of org DD plays for (same age bracket). DD has talked to several of her friends on this team privately that they need to find a better team.
Is it OK to take a wee bit of satisfaction in him falling flat on his face?
