football fields? well that sure is easy for you to say
Look, schools DO NOT open their fields and when you want to use a
field, you have to PAY, almost $90 just for one game.
You play on a school field, someone chases you out. And these kids
are KIDS, what do you want them to do? take drugs?
Once again its easy to say, there's basketball court here and
there. How many kids can that hold?
The problem in this case is NOT the people or the parents, its the
government. For years they have cut down on playing areas. When i
was in secondary school, we use to play on a field, we could play
up to 20 a side. that's 40 kids?
But then they decided to plant a basketball court and some old
folks game area in there. We wrote a petition, many signed. It was
ignored. They built it and tell me who the hell plays on that patch
of grass anymore. The only thing used is the basketball court which
at most can hold 20 people.
Understand the situation, don't brush it off thinking it can be
solved just by "going somewhere else"
