The soccer goal is in front of the goal post so I don’t understand how a player can collide with the goal post? This might happen in a football game but not soccer.

Some people are so against soccer. In 2019, some people in Rockville were fighting hard and also file a lawsuit to prevent MoCo/MCPS/Rockville from constructing a turf field at Julius West MS. They lost of course.


You missed the joke

Only if this happens at BRYC will parents complain.
Alexandria will take over the fields no matter what sport.
Loudoun will take a loan out to fix it but actually increase the fees so the parents pay for it
Mclean will be oblivious because they live in Mclean.
Any MD team won't get hurt because they are not sure if they are permitted to play.


And Pipeline will still be #1!
And FCV will tweet about how they won at the Hunt Country classic

I'm wondering if anyone has thought about kids sliding and getting stuck under the turf? It seems like this could be a huge safety issue itself.

How do you get your leg stuck under a post that goes into the ground?


By taking the post too seriously


Was the post wearing a mask? If not we've got bigger problems......

I'm very concerned that they have to cross the track to get onto the field. I mean all of those people racing around the track...it's so dangerous .

Were these the same kids who got their legs stuck under the fence as well?

Unless this happened on a tennis court I'm not interested.
