They were welcome to play pickup with the others, which they finally did.

If pickup with the locals was what they were after they wouldn't have reserved the field.

And you're completely ignoring the decades long history of that park and soccer field and instead focusing on a policy the parks department drafted without any involvement from the community and quickly scrapped.

[Edited on October 17, 2014 at 11:58 AM. Reason : You realize it got scrapped for a reason right?]

10/17/2014 11:53:33 AM

doesn't matter. that was the policy. they paid for use of the field. the people protesting that were clearly in the wrong.

10/17/2014 11:55:11 AM

Sure the tech bros were so clearly in the right they apologized for their actions.

10/17/2014 11:58:22 AM

i don't see how you could possibly argue they were in the wrong here. if the policy was flawed that's not on them.

10/17/2014 12:00:41 PM

Where did you read that they apologized for their actions? I read that the guy who said "who cares about the community?" apologized for that particular statement.

Let the record show my tennis game is adequate, possibly above average.

10/17/2014 12:19:23 PM

Sure, if average means making contact with the ball when one swings the racket.

10/17/2014 12:27:24 PM

I feel like above average 80's tennis might be > above average 2014 tennis.

"If anyone is acting entitled it's those local kids. They don't own the park, they didn't build the park, and they don't maintain the park. They're just users like everyone else, but they think they can bully people who went through the legal channels to use the place. Those guys should have called the cops and let things end very differently."

Quote :

"It's not about white vs brown despite what that poorly written editorial would lead you to believe. Let a bunch of locals think they run things and it will quickly become non-inclusive for anyone who is not part of their crew. Maybe this particular park is an exception, but by and large you will find that outsiders will not be welcome to use facilities at places like this. The same thing happens at mountain bike trails and surf breaks that get a little too crowded and it always boils down to might makes right if it is left unchecked. Sorry, but that's not how a civilized society functions. "

They were wrong to keep pushing the issue as far as they did. Once they realize how vested the kids in the community were in the park they should have backed off sooner, or tried to reach a compromise sooner.
