“In my phone conversation that night with Arney, he asked me why we covered high school football so much more than high school soccer. He asked what the difference was. Well, I give you this. If a football coach had done what Arney did — had his team quit after a few too many yellow flags — I don’t think that football coach would have his job come Monday morning. That’s the difference between football and soccer in this state.”

The reason why you don’t cover soccer with the same drooling exhausiveness you do football? The coaches aren’t penalized as much for infractions, you say. Well, congratulations. You’ve proven that you’re no better than he is in unfairly punishing players and their fans. Your pathetic, often inaccurate reporting has made it impossible to follow girls’ soccer, among other sports, and has denied hard-working athletes some richly-deserved recognition. Instead of asking yourself whether the measures taken to discipline Coach Arney were punitive enough (which, frankly, you don’t have control over), how about asking yourself why the blurb on Coach Arney was the only story on the San Benito Tournament available on rgvsports.com? God, give me a break.
