I hate it when people use sports and club mailing lists for politics
I hate it when people use sports and club mailing lists for politics or as a business contact. I give my email address so that I can get updates on team activities. I don’t care who the other parents support.
If I went to a candidate fundraiser and gave my email address then I would expect political emails. Before the fields went in, the lax coach would send emails to the parents for fundraising and BOE support.
The only thing that I have in common with many of the parents is the team. Why would they assume that our common sport team affiliation means that I would want to vote with them? Some of those people are not too bright, but they think very highly of themselves.
