It's like this: Let's say you get in a fight with my boy. He is almost 17. He is a black belt and a Karate instructor. He is quite skilled. He is virtually the size of a full-grown man.

If you win, others say, "Yeah, but he's a 16-year-old kid. It's not like it was a real match. You beat up a kid, you jerk!" You can protest all you want, but you others will still say you just beat up a kid, and big whoop.

If he beats you, you get ridiculed about getting bested by a kid. No amount of explaining will help. You can explain that he is very skilled until you are blue in the face, and it won't change a thing.

It's more than a bit like that with Central Florida.
