OK, Time for a New Rainout Bureaucrat
By Paul Boyer | September 28, 2008
Who exactly is in charge of closing Loudoun fields due to rain? What county bureaucrat makes these decisions? This person needs to be fired. They work for us, remember?
Look at the other NCSL games that WERE played today and just in the G division of the U10 league:
| 369 | N9948 GRFL Madrid | vs. | N9930 BRYC Arsenal White | Lockmeade Park |  4:30 pm |
|
| 370 | N9906 CYA REAL ‘98 Purple | vs. | N9962 REST 98 United | Franklin MS #2 |  1:00 pm |
|
| 371 | N9950 SYA Vipers | vs. | N9973 FRED FCF Academy White | Kincheloe #4 | 1:30 pm | |
| 372 |  |
N9980 VBSC Lightning | vs. | N9908 VYS Red Bulls | Kincheloe #10 | 9:00 am |
There are untold hundreds of other games being played AROUND Loudoun county yesterday and today, just not WITHIN Loudoun county.
Normally when all of the fields in a county are closed due to rain, you’d think it would be raining. Oh no, not here in Loudoun. The sun is shining today and it is actually quite warm and dry. But we are not playing soccer because of some person’s bad decision. Somebody somewhere needs to ease off the trigger just a little and allow for an occasion where the players, instead of tromping through a washboard field covered in dust, actually get a little moisture on their shoes.
Update: My neighbor’s son played FOOTBALL on a Loudoun school field today.
