Why do they need 100% access to the football/soccer field? The girls basketball team and boys basketball team share the gym, why can't the soccer/football share a field. If they do it the same way, one week football has it after school and soccer has it after football is done, the next week soccer has it after school and the football team gets it after that. Would not have a problem if they would do something like that. Game days for soccer, football gets it after school and game day friday's soccer practices before the football game. It's not hard, you just have to want to get along with each other and not think that one sport is better than the other. Isn't it all about the student athletes, not the coaches egos?

It's also not hard to say that football is better than soccer. The politically correct world and all of the "equality" crap doesn't want to hear it, but it's fact.

THE only reason soccer is started in these districts is b/c of a few LL parents that want it. And, that's fine. I'm all for it. But recognize where you are in the pecking order.

It's like the fad some years back when they tried making girls basketball appealing, but playing the boys games before the girls on double header nights. After several years of realizing that by halftime or before, that half of the crowd had emptied out during the girls game...schools have finally gone back to the old ways.

I don't know why we have become a society who is so touchy-feely when it comes to this. Heaven forbid something(s) be recognized as the "Top Dogs" when it comes to interest, school pride, community support, etc.

No difference than why the Girls Sweet 16 is played in BG at Diddle, and the boys is at Rupp. It's not disrespect, it's just fact.

...or acknowledging that the Boys Sweet 16 is a much bigger draw than the State Football Finals.
