I have received a complaint from the OP to the effect that it is the player and not the ball that is being played. This is probably accurate.
I am reluctant to close the thread, although the OP is beginning to behave progressively more like a Troll with each new post. I'd suggest that we let this thread die a natural death: Given the OP's stated position, there seems little likelihood of a change of heart.
Maybe MumsNet will offer rather more in the way of Tea & Sympathy?
