Coach P: Last night, I was talking to someone about media bias. What interests me so much isn't the obvious cases of bias but rather the interpretation of bias when the situation isn't clear.
I understand, and respect, your feeling that "Everybody Else" shouldn't be called out. I understand, and respect, the feeling of the Lexington and CRSA club parents that billboards proclaiming that the two best clubs have merged aren't appropriate. I understand, and respect, the feeling that specific teams shouldn't call out what teams they defeated on their web sites. I understand, and respect, the private messages I get saying that challenge teams shouldn't compete for classic cups. And so on...
In every one of these cases -- and I mean every one -- I think that the good of promoting youth soccer and taking pride in one's club far outweighs those that want a more "politically correct" statement of accomplishment.
Then again, I probably am biased more toward libertarianism than authoritarianism -- so this is my bias at work!
