This book is old and poorly written and I wouldn't give it to my kid to read. Not bc of any adult themes but bc the way it presents outdated tropes about what it takes to be a great athlete, who actually IS a great athlete, and how it presents other characters, women in particular.
That makes it problematic. Not scenes about a furry or sex ffs.
So, you want us never to let our children read any works of fiction with “outdated tropes” or those that present characters in problematic ways? What do you propose we should do with all these books? Wait, wait…let me guess.
No. I said I wouldn't give or recommend THIS book, BUT In no place did I say "I NEVER want" Jesus, what ridiculous leap.
