The winningest team at Mason City High School is going to state and all you can do is bitch. That’s whats the matter with MC. They are having a celebration and all you want to be is a turd in the punch bowl. Go Girls and win State!!!
Congratulations to the girls, but honestly Sports are so OVERRATED in our school system!! While we crunch school budgets, cut jobs, increase class sizes, etc. every year, thousands and thousands of $ are spent on traveling expenses (check out the cost of one bus trip, then add on it has to be a chartered bus!!), etc. School pride is important, but the extent of how sports takes the “Driver’s Seat” in determining everything else is ridiculous!
You must not have kids. So shut the F up and show some support.
Just great! Probably going to give the kids a day off to watch the game. There is no room for this nonsense!
Give it a break. School pride is important. Look at all the Mohawk supporters bashing the minister who wants to do away with the mascot and nickname. If they get a day off, it will have to be made up. So, it isn’t a day off.
