AS Steve Spurrier once said, "They can call us many things, but they can't call us losers."



Keep in mind, this is high school soccer. None of these coaches gets paid what Spurrier does, and they aren't likely coaching anyone with the potential of playing beyond college. It's girl's soccer and we all have to realize that the coach, the players, and the parents are a reflection of the school. In this case the talent of this team is overshadowed by the scores against the weaker teams.



What is it you are trying to say?

The school Mann, is made up of a bunch of jerks?



Not at all. Look at the Mann threads and the comments which are directed at the coach, the school, the players, and the parents. Do you not agree that what this group of girls has accomplished and will accomplish this year is being overshadowed by 19-0, 14-0, 12-0 scores against weaker teams? The reality is, in high school sports, strong teams play much weaker teams, and the way they handle those games can create controvesy (how many Mann threads do we have on this now? Three? Four?). Mann played Christ Church last night and won 2-0. Yet, I haven't seen that mentioned. Instead the comments about running up the scores continue. This is a very good team. They may well be the 4A State Champs and will be the team to beat for the next several years.

Knowing some of these girls, I hate to see that comments have been directed at them. Their coach has made the decision to score as many goals as they can, which is his choice, and the players have no part of that, yet there have been some negative comments about them.

Go back to any of my comments about this topic and tell me where I've once said the school, the parents, the players or the coach are "jerks".
