Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
I remember reading in the Washington Post in 2013 that Aziz turned around the lackluster Falls Church HS football program that was at the bottom of the Northern Region for years, the very bottom. I think Aziz went to school there in the 80s or 90s. He was definitely one of the better public high school football coaches and very much in demand. He turned losing squads into winning ones seemingly overnight. |
It's not about being "scared", or being a "loser" it's about wasting time and energy, combined with the risk of injury to play a lying, cheating joke of a team. Enjoy your hollow victory. Even if Hayfield wins, they will be stripped of whatever title they earn after the December trail. |
Wow, how easy is it to get under your skin? I hope you aren't a parent as it appears you melt down immediately when called out. I merely made a statement of fact (not a view): the actions of those involved are indefensible and in turn you respond with childish comments like "isn't it past your naptime" (it is one word btw) and ad hominem attacks...how sad. Yet again, my previous comments hold up. I really feel for these Hayfield kids, they appear to have no decent adult role models in their lives. It is very sad. Oh, and my views on this matter are far more right than yours as I am operating in a world of facts. You are operating in a world of lies and deflection. Now that this has become national news the only difference in the outcome of this story is that Hayfield Football, Overton, and those who enabled this whole thing will become a national joke rather than just a regional one. |
Written by the guy who wrote a really fascinating article on the back-and-forth of the NWLL scandal. He's a great storyteller and as with the NWLL article no one in the Hayfield story comes off looking particularly good except those on the periphery of the story. |
| To the poster writing things like: “what you had wrote,” “don’t make you nomore right”… please stop posting, you are not helping build support for Hayfield. |
Kids are no more likely to get injured playing Hayfield, than the would be against Battlefield, W&L, Madison, or Westfield. Hayfield may be faster than those teams but they aren’t bigger. |
I enjoy McKenna as a writer and this piece, like his previous work, is on-point. I still remember the piece he did on lacrosse parents having their kids reclass and being floored by it. This piece is going to turn Overton into a national punchline. I will be curious to see what kind of dumpster fire hires him after this. |
Its obviously “baiting” so the race card can be played, when made fun of. Just ignore. |
| I’ll hope parents vote to not play. I think that will be the only way FCPS finally sees that their decisions and messaging so far has been wrong choice after wrong choice. Hayfield won’t care whatever any other high school does, so don’t play, don’t risk injury and win on integrity. |
How are parents voting not to play? |
The issues for debate are solely violation of league rules. There is nothing else on table. |
Post above mentioning some schools discussing with their players and families. |
Def false |
Don't pout. It's unbecoming. |
Actually definitely true. There were a couple of articles in the Washington Post in 2013 about Falls Church's rise to a measure of prominence in football under Aziz. A quick google search proves that correct. But, and this is a testament to Aziz, he always seemed to deflect credit to his kids...that's what a good coach and decent human being does. Hopefully, for the sake of another program, he gets another coaching job elsewhere.
