Will be very interesting to see how many players of other sports come out to games to support them. Hopefully full stands at every game.....as I am sure they supported the other teams...

How, exactly, are you "sure" that the boys soccer team has supported other teams/programs. I am sure some of them have ... but there are a bunch of others who don't. Student athletes can make their own decisions as to if they want to go and watch another team play. And if there are boys soccer players who go to other sporting events ... that is a decision that they made because they wanted to go to the game.

 

What I really don't understand is why you feel like the other student athletes should fill stands.

 

Simply for one reason ... I have never been to a soccer game where there is more than a 100 people in the stands and I have NEVER seen the stands full (or close to it) for any of the 500 plus soccer games I have seen.

 

And for that matter .. at Beechwood ... try going to a football game against Dayton/Ludlow/First and Second round playoff game where there are more than a 100 people. And I can't remember the boys soccer parents filling up the bleachers on a Friday night!

Didn't mean to hit a nerve......if each team isn't supporting the others, then there are definitely issues that I hope, as an outsider, can be resolved......for the sake of the students and their HS experience........

Sorry .. I wasn't aware that by me telling the truth ... that it means that you struck a nerve.

 

I just don't think it is a huge deal if kids don't go to other sporting events. Also .. not sure how there are "definitely issues" (at any school) if kids don't want to go to any of games/activities/etc.

 

I would venture to say that attendance at all high school sporting events has been on the downswing for years. Which has nothing to do with kids not wanting to go to soccer games or badminton

 

It is NOT a sign of disrespect of dislike ... but it is a sign of the times.

We will take all the fans we can get at soccer games.

Only in your mind? That's how looks to me. How about trying to move forward in a positive way and find solutions? I understand you may have scars from the past that you are having trouble moving past, but your comments in here sure aren't helping the current situation

 

THIS! :ylsuper:

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck it's probably a goose... I don't think anyone is saying there isn't more to the story of soccer at Beechwood but for anyone to deny that the people there were not in favor of a soccer team or that they wouldn't be upset to see the program collapse for any reason is kidding themselves.

Good luck to Beechwood this year. Hope they do well.
