I have debated for a long time about posting and didn't want to because I didn't want to get involved in the negativity. I'm just hoping it ends soon and I'm sure my post will only serve to fan the flames but it isn't my intention.
Let me preface what I am about to say with some genuine positivity. The Kirklands and Porters have amazing kids so they must have done something right. They love their kids dearly.
IMO that is where the issue may be. Everyone knows a parent or two who is so involved in their own children that their perspective is skewed on the world around them and they will never understand their own negativity and its impact. My dad was one and I could do no wrong athletically when I was growing up. If I was cut or didn't get the playing time he thought I deserved, then it was a coach carrying a grudge, a clique, politics, people with money etc. (It wasn't, sometimes I just wasn't good enough.) He wrote letters, attended meetings, screamed from the stands etc.
Everyone knows that WP has played a relatively weak schedule for the past few years and it has never been an issue and MGF never made a negative comment about it or their opponents while his son was dominating the field. Now he makes a positive comment about the Bruton game to slip in some negativity about low hanging fruit. I guess there is 0 low hanging fruit in the league that Christchurch plays in either.
Another example of a disengious but truthful comment. Another poster made a statement about MGF making a comment during the JV game the other night. Reeces dad comes to the rescue to defend him and says that's false it wasn't him it was another parent but what he won't tell you but could have was that he was the other parent.
I wonder if they are aware, they honestly may not be, how many negative comments were made by those 2 after almost every play of the JV game.
Freedom of speech sure. I dont care what you yell about from the stands, say what you want as long as you aren't cussing or threatening but you definitely shouldn't be doing it as the president of the booster club (which he does work his tail off), it just sends the wrong message.
For those of you that aren't aware of their negativity becuz you're not familiar with WP, they complain about virtually everything. Here is a short list: music at games, English class, the AD having a fundraiser, almost every coach from basketball, volleyball, track, football, weight room, gym use, paintings on the wall, uniforms. That's not even close to them all and that's all this year. Trust me when I tell you, it never ends and I truly believe they can't help it.
They slide in one fact to get people to believe the whole statement. The only facts that MGF knows are stats, everything else is what he "heard " from someone else.
I probably got too negative at the end but they remind me so much of my own father becuz he did everything these 2 are doing. I love my dad, I understood him but he spent so much of my childhood angry that he missed out on so much more. He actually told me while in the last year of his life, "dont be like me, all this hate never got me anywhere."
