On Our Soapbox

If there is one thing that really gets us crazy is the fact that some people just never show up on Monday nights. These people sign up and barely show up for half the games, rarely show up to the afterparties and to be honest this is a little infuriating especially when you think about the number of people who were wait listed this season and who wanted to be involved in dodgeball. This is a social league and when members decide not to participate its like "Why did you even join in the first place?"

We understand things do come up (death in family, job situations, etc) but not coming because you have a headache or are feeling tired seems like a lame excuse week after week. People have a fairly good idea of what their work load/schedule will be like, so when someone has to miss a ton of games because of work traveling or staying late in the office it just seems like something they should have thought of before they signed up. If you can't commit to more that 80% of the games, then simply you shouldn't sign up.

We wonder what YOU think. Do you think it's a matter of circumstance or are people just getting lazy on Monday nights? Do you think it's acceptable to use the headache excuse every week, or should you just drop out and let someone who wants to play join? We think dodgeball is a two way street and if you don't want to meet in the middle than maybe you should let someone else drive. xoxo
