SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Spring Valley vs. Northwestern

Shut^ and Bassett, please stick to soccer and don't discuss these kids personal problems in a public forum. Thank you.

It is soccer. I want to know why good soccer players from white collar backgrounds are continually in trouble with the law/athletic department. On the field, they look fine even amazing at times. Off the field, they make the sport of soccer and it's affluent stereotype look dreadful. I was just asking a question. I'm not making any comments. Nobody HAS to answer, especially a dad from the sideline. Thank you.

Well said.

Everybody wants to be Plies!!!!!!

scsoccerdad...Are you the administrator or something?? If you are why don't you delete post then. You said it yourself buddy, this is a public forum!!!! This is America!!!! If you can't take it GO PLAY INTRAUMRALS Brother!!!!

There is scant difference between commenting and inviting comments. Either way, the result tends to be a bunch of people saying things about kids that are frequently based on misinformation. If we confine our discussions to what happens on the field, it minimizes the chances of unnecessarily and irresponsibly hurting the kids involved.

Just because we have the freedom to say most anything we want doesn't mean it is the responsible thing to do. One thing that distinguishes this board (usually) from similar forums in NC, Ga and Fl is its civility. In addition to the obviously closer monitoring by the administrators, I'd like to attribute it to the maturity (generally) of the people who post here. Using a little discretion is an important component of that.
