I am a huge fan of soccer and I have been playing since I was six years old. Since my freshman year in high school, soccer has become my biggest hobby and passion. During my senior year, I visited Ball State University and they talked about a new "Rec Center" that was going to be free for students in the fall. They mentioned all of the things the recreation center had to offer, but to me, the new indoor soccer field was the most appealing.
Now, as a student here at BSU, I often find myself spending a majority of my spare time going to the soccer field. However, there have been several occasions where I have gone to play soccer and the field was being used by football players. This concerns me for two main reasons: 1. The football players have any open field to play their little "hike and run" game on. 2. The soccer players only have the new indoor field to play at.
I chose to write about this because I had a similar encounter today. I had only been playing soccer for fifteen minutes, when we were kicked off by the women's rugby team. They reserved the fields for their practice, so I have very little room to complain. But come on, I draw the line at eight football players trying to split the indoor field with over thirty soccer players. (those numbers were not exaggerated)
