May be good coaching, but the some idiot on the MD team tore down the Hart Tribe banner on our side when the whistle blew. Funny...it was the fastest she ran all game. Too bad you can't coach sportsmanship.
She is so dumb with social media and everyone with a video phone at hand.....she was easy to identify.
How can you say it was a "Hart Tribe Banner" when it clearly had the words "mater dei" on it? So Hart had a banner on their sideline with the words "mater dei" on it, of which, the video does not show if there was any kind of message before the "mater dei" that was disparaging or negative not in line with the exact same "sportsmanship" you're now beating this MD player up for.....I wasn't there so I don't know anything other than what video showed (there's the longer version with different angle), but before I or anyone else call her out online (she's a kid btw, yet adults are cool with blasting her), shouldn't the entire story be told? Why was there a banner on Hart's side with the words "mater dei" on it? She didn't rip down a banner that said anything "hart" or "tribe" on it....was she responding to an obnoxious group of people that were hovering around the sign throughout the game (possibly the people on video that prevented her from finishing her removal of said sign) and she wanted what she felt was a "sign" of disrespect and unsportsmanship first from opposing team now torn down that her team was victorious in OT? Personally, I don't think a player would go to those lengths without first being given cause to....of which, ultimately, I would've done the same thing....you may proceed to blast me now for weighing in and presenting a different, probably unpopular opinion.
Ok, so I looked again and there are two posters, creating one message....it actually says "GO HART BEAT" on one section of poster, then the other poster in question says "Mater Dei"......
Sorry, gotta clap back. It was a paper banner (or poster, or whatever else one can call these things). It was like every other banner you will see at a high school sporting event. "Go us - Beat - insert name of opposing team here." As for, "obnoxious group of people hovering around the sign throughout the game" - well that would be OUR side (home team) where we put OUR banners/posters. Opposing team has THEIR side for THEIR stuff. The "obnoxious" comment is funny. I, as a parent of a child that has played club soccer since Gu9 used to think EVERYONE on the opposite side of the pitch (back in the day), or now on the other side of midfield was jacked up, testy, rude, misguided, had no knowledge of the beautiful game and needed a sock to stuff in their big mouths. But that was when my girl was little. I got over it. People on the opposing side are pretty cool for the most part. I got over myself. My player didn't even notice wacked parents. So now you are saying this MD player possibly got riled up over obnoxious parents. That's a good one. Tune out the other side. Don't let them get in your head if you are that kind of player that lets it bother you. Geez, you've got to be in at least 10th grade and have been around club for a while. You surely have seen worse than this. And for the record...nothing horrible was going on. Normal soccer game cheering. Both stands equally loud.
Why would Mater Dei put up a "banner" on the HOME side of the field right next to other "banners" that supported the home team? That sounds more like spin to me by someone who doesn't want to admit any wrongdoing. It's interesting that the original twitter linked video was posted by a news staff writer so not someone who would have any vested interest in slamming an "innocent" player.
#Fakenews....or perhaps the reporter saw what she wanted to? Very easily could have been the Mater Dei player wanting to use the poster to perhaps hold up as she and her teammates took a celebratory pic? However, because the Hart supporters essentially grabbed and restrained her, it made it look worse so the "story" was reported as the MD player having malicious intentions....did the reporter go over and actually get the facts from the MD player afterwards or did she just run with what she thought was the scoop, one that portrayed her as having no class....
