I can only type so fast. As for showing up Sunday I would have loved to have been there but as I said before work was in the way. A large crowd would not have bothered me either, you do not do what I did for all those yer to get the title and not develop a think skin. I have on the other side from people who actually wanted to kill me not just yell so imagine I would be able to handle an angry crowd with humility.
The intent was to be funny not create confusion. I did not realize people where actually using the post to make plans. If I caused anyone extra work or problems for that I am sorry. The "glib" manner of the comments was meant to provoke laughs not deride the people running the tournament. I know that the work was hard and thankless except in the personal pride those running it could feel at a job well done.
I will also apologize to the NHS team if they feel my comments were a slight to them. I really was not sure why they did not want to play in the championship match and worded my question poorly. Perhaps there were reason I was not aware of so I will gladly accept that the coaches were doing what they felt would be best for the team.
To be clear let me say it plain and simple I am sorry to the parents and the girls if it was hurtful.
