Ok-rocket scientist the field house benefits a lot of students at New Hanover, not just the football players. It benefits football players’ yes, but also lacrosse, baseball, gym classes and so on. This is not a waste of money, as the county does make money off of these children with ticket sales and concession stand sales.
I am glad you know how to use all caps, but you should also know that athletics benefit a student’s education. Our New Hanover student athletes have higher grades and stellar attendance records.
It is so much than “taking a shower” as you put it; it is about SAFETY. These coaches need a location to train these children, get them out of the elements in the cases of bad weather. SO you see it is a necessity not a luxury. Spend time with these coaches, these student athletes and you will see the deplorable conditions they currently face. You will then see what the word NECESSITY is all about.
It is about more than just a shower....
