The ignorant, self-serving, overly PRIDEFUL nature of WarriorFan is absolutely jarring, but not shocking. I, too, have been around high school athletics as a coach and an administrator and 99 times out of 100 it's the adults that ruin it.
This blind, unerring devotion to a program that clearly lacks integrity, dignity, and self-respect is very disappointing and is the primary reason why I left a decade of high school athletics.
To blame the system is short-sighted and, frankly, irresponsible.
Do you blame the speed limit if you are caught speeding?
Do you blame the test you failed if you didn't study for it?
Here's an unpopular opinion for WarriorFan, or it would be unpopular in the 3/4 group of Riverdale supporters. How about the coach apologizing to the school for his actions? How about every one of those players apologizing to their teachers and classmates for disrespecting the name on the FRONT of the jersey? How about the Athletic Director (or game administrator, whichever was present for this farce) apologize to every parent for embarrassing their community with the worst display of sportsmanship I've ever seen in this state? That goes for Smyrna as well, but they don't seem to be suffering from the same delusions of grandeur that immature Riverdale supporters are.
