I'm glad the principal told us that wasn't a flagrant foul. I was pretty torn on the issue.

Nah, he said it wasn't "flagrant enough." Whatever the F*** that means.

Educational Malpractice.
So true. I am going to send the link to this thread to the principal and losing school.

Here's an apology they could make....

We're sorry. We're sorry your a bunch of idiots. And please take this apology in the spirit in which it's given.

Respectfully,

The Crew

Well said...I am sure there aren't any other pressing issues at this high school that the princi(PAL) and the staff could be channeling their energies into.

If this crew has to apologize for that foul, I had better start writing because I will have a ton of apologies to send out to coaches, players, parents, staff members, mayors, common council members, janitors, school board members, landscapers, and the lunch ladies for some of the crap I have called over the past 18 years. I thought when I was watching the first 4:30 of the video that this was going to be some travesty of justice and just a horrible misapplication of the rules and then I saw the foul in question! OMG Sportsmanship starts at the top and when the top of your school are DOPES it really doesn't help anyone.

Clearly looks like a foul to me from what we where shown. That being said the officials was in a good position and the direction of the ball does not doubt what he called.

I guess this is one of these, "The officials should not decide the game, the players should...." BS points of view.

Peace

What does the Paper gain by publishing the officials name in the paper? They could have just said the officials call.
