Sorry Skarp, but I would have to say that this post is classless. Is this really necissary?
I didn't realize that "nec[e]ssary" was the litmus test for posting on this site. I daresay that few of the things written here would qualify.
Your delicate sensibilities (and apparent obliviousness to the irony of your post) quite aside, I would argue that there are few categories of information discussed here that are more relevant or useful. If our involvement in this sport is about making quality experiences with and for our kids, then knowing which teams to avoid (i.e., which teams will make that next-to-impossible) is fairly important.
A poster on another thread related a story about playing a team where the parents literally threatened the umpires throughout the game. I've personally heard other stories of parents threatening other parents, blatant cheating , girls swearing at or trying to harm other girls, etc. Some teams are simply bad apples, and I for one would like to know which ones they are. Whether you find my interest in this information classless is of no concern to me. But thanks for chiming in.
