Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)

One very big reason why you haven't seen the interested parties (me being one of them) say accusatory things about the Red Alliance teams is that we know and value the people who run those teams, as well as the students on them. It was a very difficult situation that occurred at a rapid pace under very extraordinary circumstances. Notice that when I pointed out how bizarre it was to have mentors talking to the head ref, I didn't indignantly refuse to join them; I was right there with them! And the only request we ever got to do anything different was from the head safety advisor, who set up cones for us to stand behind just to keep us out of traffic. I cannot get inside the heads of our opponents but I do know that on the field we played just as hard as they did, and off the field they have been compassionate and helpful. The ones among the mentors I have gotten to know over the years are my friends and I value that enough that I won't throw this in their faces. And I'm not small enough to be bitter about this anyway; what would that accomplish, other than ulcers for me, broken relationships, and students who learn to hold grudges? I see this as a problem in the game logistics, and I want everyone to know about it so that we can fix the problem in the future, for other teams. That's all.
