Totally agree about the Whitman field, it is crazy slippery for the players.

Then talk to the Whitman coaches and athletic director. They're the ones who signed off that it was okay/fixed with mcps...

And since well-maintained grassfielsld in Montgomery County are a thing of the past, I'll take the turf!

I prefer less usage of grass fields. Kids don’t need that much sports. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but the American obsession with youth sports is insane, especially when you consider that they eat junk and become overweight later in life just like the rest of the population, just because American ideas about nutrition are so wrong.



Just a reminder, there are planes that leave America everyday for other countries that don't emphasize youth sports and have better nutritional practices...
