[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either say something that happened or seriously just stop.  You people are no better than middle schoolers.[/quote]

Seriously? A few examples from the past few years: seniors leaving dead fish on cars belonging to families of other teams; kids being allowed to use snorkels and deliberately dq in A meets after getting enough points to win the meet; parents heckling kids from another team in clerk of course; seniors breaking into other pools at night and sh!tting in them. Enough?[/quote]

I happen to be at Overlee and have never seen/heard of any of these and I think the dead fish one would be directed at us.  You personally witnessed all of this?

I can say no one has shit in our pool at least.

So to sum up the evidence is dumb teen pranks from at least one team and some jerk parents, which you can find those on the sideline of kindergarten rec soccer across the DMV.  And this behavior only exists in D1 you say?

Who said poor sportsmanship only happens in D1? It seems you’re cool with it anyway, so perhaps you’re part of the problem.

The people on DCUM seem real focused on it happening in D1.  Read this thread and tons of other examples.  But feel free to start another one that says Poor sportsmanship in NVSL - all divisions welcome.[/quote]

Only being familiar with D1, I don’t really know or care what’s going on in other divisions. I’m not cool with poor sportsmanship whether it’s happening on my kids’ team or another D1 team. Being defensive about it is no way to remedy the problem.[/quote]

I think the way to remedy the problem is to not make vague generalizations and accusations.  If you see something going on or know of something going on, speak to the team rep and/or the coach.  If you are going to post about it on DCUM, say something specific and name the pool.  The general sweeping statements and gossip are not helpful.[/quote]

What remains vague after the specific incidents mentioned in this thread? The incidences of unsportsmanlike conduct that I’m aware of were all known to team reps, coaches, and others. Denying that specifically detailed and reported incidents happened or are vague generalizations is ridiculous. Do you expect to see paperwork?[/quote]
