Many of us are still mad at the original stupid call that put us all here, because it's obvious that the Sunday stuff could have happened if not for the bad Friday call. Thus the residual anger.
Thanks Grandpa Brandon
When I feel myself getting up worked up this much about something minor and inconsequential I remind myself there’s 2 million people displaced in Palestine and 64% of the population has lost a family member or loved one to a bombing since October and it gives me some needed perspective . We simply do not have it this bad.

I’m not this poster but stop lecturing people and telling people how they should feel and making assumptions. Taking 2 minutes to post something on a message board does not make someone “worked up”. If you don’t want to read how people feel about this topic don’t open the post.

As a follow-up to our message on Friday, January 19, all Arlington Soccer indoor clinics on Sunday, January 21 are CANCELED.
Although APS has decided to open buildings on Sunday, the Department of Parks and Recreation, who provides Arlington Soccer with permits for the facilities, has notified us that they are unable to confirm the support and facility readiness needed to open the gyms.
Again, unfortunately, Arlington Soccer will not be holding any indoor clinics at APS Facilities on Sunday, January 21.
Great work, APS.

Staffing is an issue everywhere. You going to volunteer to help with snow removal, etc?

DPR Youth Basketball games remain cancelled for Sunday, January 21. As basketball was previously cancelled, we are unable to reschedule officials, facility monitors and ensure that each facility will be open. We look forward to returning to normal operations on Monday.
Still no basketball. Reasonable explanation.
