I'm really sorry that you two feel that way. BGR is a great place to come and talk sports. Everyone has their own opinion and have the right to think whatever they want but we do try to keep the board as civil and mature as possible. I cannot remove a post because someone's opinion isn't the same as mine, yours, or anyone else's but I think that it is a very positive place to come and talk sports. I've been here for 2 years and I love every minute of it. Every team gets down and out at sometime or another but bring the positive to the site. That is why it is here. Come here and post your opinion on it. When a team had a great game or season, as you have done hear, post something to commend their effort. It's not just "this forum" that people agree to disagree on. I honestly hurts my feelings that you would want your team to stay away from this board. We all have put some much time and effort into it, torQQue especially. He pays for everything on the site out of his pocket and still keeps it free so you and I can come here and say what we want to. If you have suggestions on how to make it a better experience please feel free to voice concerns or suggestions to myself or any other staff member via private message.

It would be great if everyone would simply talk sports and build up their teams instead of tearing down the other teams as well. I have seen so many players just out and out bashed on this forum. Last year I saw alot of players bashed on the forum by their own teammates! How is that conducive to bringing a team together as a team instead of as individuals? How is that conducive to building up the greatest game ever invented?

I have complained in the past about sportsmanship...or the lack thereof....at the games that I have attended this year. I complained about the fans and the way they have treated the cheerleaders....I have complained about the cheerleaders and the way they have treated the opposing players before the game even started....but even that is not what this forum should be about. If you want it to be a place where you can bring out the positive about a team then fix it that way....but nearly every time someone says something positive about a team you will have dozens of posts of people bashing either the team or the original poster. It is ludicrous. I believe that you should be able to point out the good in a player or a team without having to deal with others who get on there and tell you that you don't know what you are talking about.

I discourage my son coming to this forum for this purpose....however, I'm sure he still does on occasion. I want my son to believe in himself as much as I believe in him. I want him to believe what I say about him and not what the rival schools in the district or the region or even on his own teammates have to say about him as a player.

I have read a lot of crap on here regarding Jamie McCarty throughout the season...but you know what? Jamie is a Class A kid. He is a joy to be around and he is probably one of the most polite kids I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Jamie has stuck by his team and his teammates even though they haven't always stuck by him this season. I know Jamie and his family...they are top notch and I wouldn't trade Jamie for all of the so called superstars in the 15th Region or even the state of Kentucky. I hate it when I get on here and this person or that person from whatever school is dissing him and talking trash when in fact they don't know what they are talking about because they don't really know Jamie. And they don't truly know anyone else on this team...they just know their names and they know they can spread trash and rumors behind a made up name that no one can trace.

I'm sure that you want this to be a wonderful place...and at one point in time I would have said it was. But over the last couple of years I have become very disillusioned. Yeah I still come here on occasion...I guess I'm a glutton for punishment or maybe just maybe I want my team to be able to read something positive ever once in awhile.
