What's up with youth sports in DC? Janney ES?

Bench players in elementary school games? They should all be playing evenly.

It's gross. The culture is disgusting. I had second hand embarrassment watching it

It's about the kids' safety that fouls continue to be called but we don't expect you to understand.

It’s a privileged school in DCPS and they can’t admit it (see this whole dumb thread about 10 year olds not understanding sportsmanship). These sports are an easy way to pop Janneys bubble because they showcase their ignorance via little kids bball.

Solution:
1) Janney parents can pretend they’re awesome and the handful parents defending Janney on here (already says enough they love DCUM) can keep it up on here until the end of time.

2) Non-Janney Parents got great examples to use about ignorance for their children and also how to not be those parents

Your comment does not make any sense and should probably be written in crayon. Do better in life and move out of that basement apartment the mold is not good for you long term.

DP. I played in college, so I’m actually pretty familiar with the game. In my experience, parents who yell at refs about calls aren’t motivated by safety concerns. When I was concerned about unsafe play, I’d calmly say something like “ref, #12 black is hip checking the kids he’s guarding every time.” Refs are pretty on top of that kind of thing. If parents are yelling, it’s usually because they don’t know the game and the rules.

I bet you're giving all the teams the first place trophy too. Let's just get rid of the scoreboard while you're at it.

And they win again... Must be doing something right.

Seems to be just hate directed at Janney but all good I am sure they are too busy winning to worry about you losers.

Nobody cares who’s winning in elementary school dear settle down

Then stop trolling an ES blog.
