Then what is the purpose of this entire site if you can't state your own opinion? This is a sports forum where you are supposed to be able to discuss sports. Obviously, there is going to be a difference of opinions. I just think it's ridiculous when people try to tell you how you should post. I do agree, however, that it does seem that the same topics are discussed over and over. I think one of the biggest problems is that the majority of the members are from Eastern Kentucky which is why there seems to be a repetitve nature in many of the posts. I seriously think some more thought should have went into the name of the site, perhaps Mountain Rivals due to the lack of input from across the state. BlueGrass Rivals doesn't seem very appropriate. I'm sure many of the moderators on this site will probably disagree with what I have said but that is just my opinion. With so many restrictions, it takes away from the good nature of discussing sports. Just because we talk about high school sports on here doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to express your own opinion as long as it is clean. Seriously, all of these restrictions defeats the whole purpose of the entire forum. There's nothing wrong with a good heated discussion. With the emergence of sites such as Rivals.com, high school athletes are becoming more and more evaluated. That's just the facts. It's ridiculous that people complain about athletes reading the posts on this site. If they can't take criticism, then they shouldn't be playing sports in the first place. This whole arguement is completely absurd, in my opinion.

I don't have a clue who you are but if you are old enough to have kids or every do then you may understatnd this concept. What if it was your kid or you that was being told over and over that they can not play at the next level. If you do have kids then you will know what I am talking about, if you dont and every do have you will.
