Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
and yet....here you are, posting. |
| You read 52 pages and then posted to ask why other people are interested in a topic? LOL. |
| All teams should forfeit rather than play Hayfield. They can’t have a Championship program without opponents. |
Its a fair way for coaches to protest FCPS greenlighting this s-show. |
Given the academic progress of black males both in the county and across the country, what is strange is that you are not invested in steering the ship to a proper academic focus as opposed to having a corrupt farm team for the NCAA exploits the kids with overall a poor return, even under a cheating scheme. By the way I was a NCAA D1 scholarship guy and was very aware that I had to make the system work for me as opposed to the other way around. But was a very high performing student and was unhappy at how some of my peers were exploited. It is odd that a concern for vulnerable students flips to a narrative of weirdly invested. |
You are either unfamiliar with sports journalism or just shilling for Overton. |
By now we know FCPS would much rather crow about the success of a majority Black sports team (other teams that win state championships are largely ignored) than improve the academic performance of Black students. |
One could certainly draw that conclusion. |
| The Hayfield team was majority black last year.... But man, from that youtube video, you would think those families had parachuted into Langley in 1955. |
Langley and most of the other schools didn’t exist then. There was Herndon, W-L, Mount Vernon, GW, Falls Church, Annandale, and Fairfax. But yes, the current Hayfield story has been framed in terms of race. Much of that I think is drama stemming from the team mom controversy and then things grew from there. If it wasn’t for that pesky team mom and the Fairfax Time reporter, this whole thing would’ve been kept under wraps. |
| ^Luther Jackson and Hoffman Boston were the regional secondary schools for African American students until the 60s. |
That’s right just give em an easy path to the championship |
The anti black racists are in full sing in this thread. Just let it all hang out! |
If it were a white coach, with mostly white players, there would be no talk of any misconduct. |
The 1964-1965 Annandale football team went undefeated was ranked the #1 football team in the country. Luther Jackson also undefeated and had similar success playing against other all Black schools the same year. The Luther Jackson coach publicly challenged the Annandale coach to a game. The Annandale coach quickly declined. |
