My Hometown, Edina
Edina is crawling with interesting topics for me to talk about but the one near and dear to my heart at the moment is Edina athletics. I play soccer for the highschool during the fall and just recently I have realized how stupid our sports system actually is. For example, I don't understand why 8 junior girls would be demoted to the sophmore team or asked to quit. Those girls who were more qualified than some of the younger (and older) girls who got asked to play on the junior varsity. Ego's bruised and morale very low, 4 of the girls agreed to play for the sophmore team and had to hope that next year would be a better season. Even though they have a very slim chance of making varsity next year let alone junior varsity, they still give every game their all. Are spots on jv held for seniors (who don't make varsity) or for girls who have older siblings on higher soccer teams? Is it always talent that chooses those spots?

Emma: I don't think anyone else in the class talked about athletics at all, so good job taking up that topic. There are a lot of philosophical questions in your post, many of which are worthy of thinking about. Nice job on the blog. It looks great.
Emma, thats a really interesting topic that I didn't know about at all. Great job at thinking up such a cool aspect of Edina to report on! I learned a lot and would be interested to find out the answer to that issue!
emma i really like your topic. i know what you are talking about with the atletic system, sometime you just wonder if they are giving everyone a fair chance.
Em: I love that you did something so unique, no one else mentioned sports. Also, I really liked how you ended with questions, it kept me thinking even after I was done reading your post.
Great job :)
