To Clarify...

We'd like to apologize for some comments made in our last post. After re-reading our post, we understand how those comments could have been misunderstood.


At no point were we celebrating injuries of the student athletes who work so hard. We understand how hard the athletes of the PSAL work and understand how frustrating dealing with injuries can be. We root for the success of all athletes and understand that it is detrimental to the PSAL when its best athletes cannot compete.


The comment was directed at the Brooklyn Tech program as a whole. The argument is that they've had so much success over the last decade, that having one off year was unlikely to elicit the sympathy of the other teams in the league. It was not meant to minimize the frustrations the individual athletes affected by injury and we are sorry that it came across that way.


We appreciate the feedback from our readers and thank them for pointing out these insensitive comments. We will do better in the future.

This is bogus!!


“Dealing with some injuries to their top runners, but I doubt anyone will feel bad for them”


You instill your OWN opinion, not a mutual agreement by runners in the PSAL that they wouldn’t feel bad for us. No one has said anything about feeling bad for us from what I’ve heard, and I talk to a lot of people! You created this narrative and scapegoated it as a mutual opinion just to share your own.


Your vendetta against my school and the tight knit community it creates is obvious in previous posts, you have always felt the need to bring up our school population, and somehow use that against us. I am not sure what we…

Brayden,


While I agree with earlier comments that there has been a clear vendetta thus far contra Brooklyn Tech, celebrating our losses and ranking us lower than may have been necessarily correct, I do not believe that commenting like this puts our school, our athletes, or our team in the best light.


Most people on the team are thankful for the apology, even if there has still been a repeated pattern being disrespectful to Tech.


But we must still present our best face when discussing stuff like this. An apology is an apology.


While enjoying other's misfortune is a vice, epichairekakia, the good-tempered man nonetheless forgives.
