Script Notes
I don't know what's sadder – that this country woke up a few weeks ago and read the story about a school in Toronto banning the use of soccer balls on the playground /or the fact that deep down / none of us were really surprised.
Walk fast, speak quickly, raise arms to indicate uncertainty/ frustration
Emphasize school, soccer balls, playground
Pause after “playground”Pause after “deep down”
