[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is absolutely no reason for these NOVA ECNL teams to have to travel to Charlotte or Raleigh to get a game.  You should feel blessed that Covid put a damper on that this spring.  We are not ECNL, but have played some of the Carolina ECNL teams in tournaments.  There are only a couple I would say are close to the same level as the NOVA/MD ECNL teams.  There are even better teams in CCL than down there.[/quote]

It is if that’s the way the league is set up. The point is there are other options and leagues that don’t require that type of travel yet parents choose to sign their kids up for it then have the gall to complain about it which is annoying. Do y’all hear yourselves? SMH[/quote]

We don’t use “y’all”in Northern VA.[/quote]

True.  That term is reserved for actual Virginians.[/quote]

Yes. [u] I was born in Fairfax County, raised in NoVa[/u].  I'm in my 50s now.   According to most of the state, I am not Virginian.   My Virginia University referred to everyone from Northern VA, as the 'great state of N.VA'.  I can say I identify more with Northerners since my parents were New Englanders.  The 'y'all' sh*t drives me crazy.[/quote]

Bless your heart.[/quote]

Three experiments examined how norms characteristic of a "culture of honor" manifest themselves in the cognitions, emotions, behaviors, and physiological reactions of southern White males. Participants were University of Michigan students who grew up in the North or South. In 3 experiments they were insulted by a confederate who bumped into the participant and called him an "asshole". Compared with northerners--who were relatively unaffected by the insult-[b]-southerners were (a) more likely to think their masculine reputation was threatened, (b) more upset (as shown by a rise in cortisol levels), (c) more physiologically primed for aggression (as shown by a rise in testosterone levels), (d) more cognitively primed for aggression, and (e) more likely to engage in aggressive and dominant behavior.[/b] Findings highlight the insult-aggression cycle in cultures of honor, in which insults diminish a man's reputation and he tries to restore his status by aggressive or violent behavior.[/quote]

I'm not a southerner - and I don't know what your point is - but these responses sound positive to me.  If someone bumps into someone else and, instead of apologizing, calls him an asshole - then that person ought to get a butt whooping and the world would be a better place if they always did.

Personally I would likely just walk on because I'm lazy - but I say "Well done!" to anyone who administers the whooping.[/quote]
