Jared, my apologies. It didnt read like I meant it to read. It wasn't your comments I meant, it was the response that came after you mentioned it, that came over the speakers that I thought wasn't very professional.
Odd that there's no chatter about this. I just think its great that they made at least some sort of public announcement.
Now if they could only come up for a solution to this "extreme hockey mom/dad" problem that has likely led up to this. Say what you want about age limits etc, but it boils down to this: when you're 14, your parents are still ultimately responsible for you.

i think theyre too far out of the ballpark on their view of what happened to fix, i would have expected a totally different statement from parents, which i think should lead to them being gone, if they think there was nothing wrong with what went on.
The Jacobs Family said they wanted to make waves. I think that goal was achieved. Now the undertoe has sucked them out to sea and I hope we never see them again.
Props to the track for doing what was right. Management doesn't get a lot of credit but I think this was the right move. I think Management deserves a round of applause
