Can everyone write shorter posts. I don't want to read a 10 page paper. |
And to be fair, I have seen it from (just using this as an example as I saw it) the disrespect from higher income places like Langley and how their parents treated even another in County School that is not as high income like Centreville. Out did we forget about that last year That is a very real example of a higher income family believing they are better than a lower income family. Again, we can agree to disagree, and I respect your opinion. And no, it is not every parent. not every parent from Langley acted that way. But as a general rule, that’s how it goes How much talk has been done about all the athletes and students at West Po? Anyone worried about them or talking about them? Again, a lower income school. No one even bats an eye So WestPo, if your girls need anything, I know our team would be proud to help support the girls through a very tragic event Sometimes we need to take a step back and look at things through another lens I promise, that was the last post. You don’t even need to ask me to stop because you are right. Let’s get back to lacrosse |
"I believe The real reason people hate BF so much is because we come from a lower set of income that the other high income schools, so we are looked down upon. I’m not saying BF parents are poor, because they are not. What I am saying is that Prince William as a whole is a much poorer county than all of the other surrounding counties"
No. We hate BF because the parents cheer the game like it's life or death for them (more so tha for the kids). It's high school sports for pete's sake. Wins, losses, etc. don't matter- unless you peaked in high school as a person. |
I believe this is a large contributing factor and extends to how they brag on this forum. Battlefield parents need to take some accountability for creating the dynamic. |
Best response so far. There are some fantastic teams full of killers in this area and basically not a word about them on these lacrosse forums. Why is that? Because their parents don’t use DCUM to blab on about it. It’s been going on for years with certain of the BF parents and it’s annoying. |

Barnum is hiring all Capital circus workers..... |
Exactly this. It’s got nothing to do with income levels or bragging on some anonymous forum or anything with any specific player. It’s the behavior from parents DURING the game for all in attendance to see. Specifically a) loudly screaming about any call that goes against them and b) loudly screaming at any opposing player who might be little physical. Stop being so loud/embarrassing in negative way and nobody will care. |
100%! The BF bashing didn’t start this year or last. This has been going on for years because BF parents chose to use this forum to elevate their teams to champion status w/o having won one. Every year the tune played like a broken record, “this is our year, so watch out world!” My daughter was fortunate to win a state championship. Not once did the players or parents feel the need to hype themselves up on this board. They played it on the field, winning with grace and quietly celebrating amongst themselves. They never hyped themselves up for the next year. I’m sure it is only a few BF parents posting this nonsense, but this is the reputation created for BF during the years my kids have played lacrosse. It continues today. BF parents put the bullseye on the players and team, which isn’t fair to them. Word to the wise, I have a daughter who played at the highest level of D1. I am aware of players who were not offered at programs because of their parent’s behavior. Don’t ruin it for your kids. Sit back, relax and cheer everyone on. |

Awesome game. Could have gone either way. YT secured the first draw in OT and made it count. Huge respect for WA players, coaches, and fans. |
