[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've attended sporting events across the DC metro region for years, I think every schools sheering section during athletic competition can be somewhat rowdy and out of control at times during major games.

I do recall attending a prep - landon lacrosse game 3 - 4 years ago and the prep student sections were chanting homophobic / anti gay remarks during the game. I understand these are high school kids and some times kids feed off  the emotions of the game and mob Mentality can take over during games (this applies to all student sections) . What disgusted me more about this episode during a Prep athletic competition, is there were two prep faculty members standing right next to the prep cheering section and they didn't have "guts" to shush up the Prep crowd when it was pretty obvious to the comment observer they were chanting anti gay  remarks. It was rather disappointing to see. [/quote]

Ah, yes.  When faced with another report of boorish behavior by Landon boys, resort to the, "Well, everybody else does it" defense.  Typical deflect and deny.[/quote]

Ah, yes. When faced with a report of boorish behavior by someone at a school other than Landon, resort to the accusation that the poster is trying to deflect attention from Landon and repeat your own generalized mantra that ALL Landon boys will be SAT-cheating, misogynistic, unsportsmanlike thugs because that broad brush accusation suits your desired narrative. After all, if boys from other schools behave boorishly then it challenges your claim that there is something fundamentally different about Landon and it's students. [/quote]
