Lots of angry and rude posts... kinda sux that so many of us feel such angst these days... Who can blame anyone?? Traffic's been horrendous, LIRR a nightmare, over taxed, over worked, underpaid, come home exhausted, and muster enough energy to raise good kids... Whether your kids go public, private, Cham, Anthony's, doesn't matter... do you remember how great the feeling of playing a varsity sport, with all your friends, gearing up in anticipation, to compete against your schools' historical arch nemesis (topped w Championship title on the line)?? ...once, in a lifetime experience... if you are lucky enough, by making (nowadays) year round sacrifices (training, practicing, missing parties, vacation, etc...) to be in that position to lay it all on the line one last time for your teamates and school colors... yeah, no one died, and life goes on... but roughly 50 (seniors) were Robbed of that "once in a lifetime feeling" because some tired, beaten down adults, decided to take the easy way out, and hide behind an antiquated, CYA rule. ...pretty soon, no one will give it another thought, Except, of course, when those 50 kids, fast forward to adults, and decide to look back, on their day, that did not happen.
That's the truth. Parents made it about them. Very sad.
No it's not, a rule was broken, should it have been covered up? Is that what you're writing? Cover up the offense so the boys can play? It's unfortunate that one family from St A decided to try to game the system. He got caught, penalties come with breaking the rules
OK mom. Your kid didn't play before you tattled, and now he will never play. What did you actually accomplish? Some things are better left alone.
