Second, I'll let some of the previous posters speak for me:

We of the Travel Soccer teams around NOVA community beg to differ. There's plenty of room for you crazy navel gazers on the Sports and Fitness forum. As a PP mentioned, even if you can't figure out how to make the jump from the Private/Independent School forum to the Sports one, you should be able to master Recent Topics with a little help. Ask one of your children to show you how.

This is not exactly how I would have put it, but there is a tremendous similarity between the travel soccer threads and the LAX threads. Not only are LAX and soccer both sports, but the posters have a lot in common. Birds of a feather and all that.

I am one of the people who asked Jeff to move it to sports. If the thread focused on independent school LAX, that would be one thing. However it quickly deteriorates into a general LAX thread, talking about other leagues and club teams. That is why it belongs in sports. .

This is another important point. Regardless of the topics of the threads or how the started out, they have both gone wildly off-topic and are less private school LAX threads than simply LAX threads.
