[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

^ and this response is exactly why this is the greatest forum ever and parents whose DDs no longer play high school continue to post about about how great a player their daughter is (“Word to the wise, I have a daughter who played at the highest level of D1.”) and how you should listen to them because of some deranged sense of superiority. It’s gold, baby, GOLD!

Good news for the BF parents, you won’t have to worry about this with kids playing for the 60-70th ranked club teams. For parents who had or have kids playing D1, please keep sharing your wisdom.[/quote]
