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 Lots of angry and rude posts... kinda sux that so many of us feel such angst these days...

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 Who said anything about covering it up?? The original poster painted a vivid picture of how the nuclear penalty ubruptly ended kids' careers (from opposing team) whom had nothing to do with the infraction Too bad, it wasn't the "nuclear" penalty, it was the appropriate penalty as decided by the CHSAA. They are HS Seniors, they are students, lacrosse is not there career. Stop acting like this is more than what it is, a bunch of kids had the game cancelled. That's it, you are a cry baby, it's embarrassing so please stop. ...you are clueless... BOTC is a HS lacrosse forum. Please go back to CNN, The View, or wherever you get your favorite fake news. |
