I think that certain leagues cater to certain types of players/teams. I know that the social level of Star is one of the reasons that Flame On chose to be here (well done). The Wackos almost left last year when things got out of hand, but decided that it was better to stay here and take a more active role than just to bail. Personal opinion of course.

Wow, all of you need to chill a bit.
Remember that WAKA started as a social organization in need of a theme. They happened to choose kickball. Thus, it is a blend of both on-the-field competition and meeting people afterwards. This also happens to be the characteristic of DC Star. Of the Sunday divisions, Monument has the toughest teams, Kingdom has the alcoholics. Star tends to ride the middle.
Sack--what everyone is trying to get at (albeit going about it much nastier than needed), is that they just want to meet you all someplace other than in the middle of a game. Other teams--you can't force another team to be social if they're not interested in it, so just leave them be. The way you're acting, why would they want to start meeting you anyway?
Unless I am mistaken and this is all in jest (it IS a trash talking forum), but that's not the tone I'm hearing.

Agreed, its gotten a little more out of hand than it should have.
I'll leave Star next season and start a DC Dictatorship league...we'll just see about not forcing other people to be social.

Well, kids, if there are a bunch of kickball bullies out there, screw them... that means more space and more flip cup tables at the Times on Sunday.
Poo on lousy social attitudes.

Whoa, these boards tend to get us in a bad light..
I totally agree with the last post...WAKA in itself is a mix of social fun and competitive interaction. No doubt.
We certainly recognize that this is a social league and we respect that.. we definietly came from a less social, more competitive atmosphere (Most of VA seems to be that way) and we think the social scene is a lot more fun here.
And while we certainly have some competitive players on our team, we also have very social peeps. I think thats what makes a good mix for a team. Some like to play a lot of FC and hang out, some not so much...we're just very laid back. . and certainly not used to organized FC battles and standings.
As far as these boards go, EXACTLY its called "TRASH TALK and GOSSIP"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... someone (from other team mind you) started this thread calling us out and we responded in jest. Thats the way it works. Its all in good fun.. If you're gonna razz us about flipcup etc.. no problem... but you can expect we'll probably return the same in kickball fashion. No harm no foul..
Captain, SL
