Just Looking For a Little Effort Public League...

I always try to cut the Public League some slack.

Suburban coaches for years said I was going out of my way to cut the Public League slack and gave them too much publicity. I don't think they were right, because you can never give anyone too much publicity - especially the Public League

But here we are again, another year and no new soccer fields for Public League teams.

I know, I know - blame it on the economy.

But what about the previous 10 years?

I know, I know - poor leadership.

It's only a matter of time before a player is hurt and they sue the hell out of the Public League for playing on poor Chicago Park District fields. Mark my word, the time is coming.

But while we wait for that day, maybe the Public League sports administration office can send out a schedule of its boys soccer games?

I know, I know - it's a lot of work.

No, no - it's the same lazy story as last year and the year before and the year before.
