Good memory...I recall that---now that you have reminded me. Our title thread search doesn't seem to be working very well, but here is an article:

Re: the "non-existent" soccer game.

Fort Reno Park,the site of the supposed mystery soccer game, is not a "vacant lot." It is a large grass field across the street from Woodrow Wilson High School, Deal Middle School adjoins the site. It contains a regular baseball diamond and tennis courts off to the side. The outfield and adjoining open areas are used heavily for soccer; moveable goals are positioned at the site. The big NW DC youth soccer organization, the Stoddert League, uses Fort Reno for rec games and travel team practice.

The hoo-haw about the supposed mystery game was based on someone checking the Sidwell Friends website and discovering that Sidwell didn't have a game that day. Since Sasha and Malia attend Sidwell, many people assumed that meant they had no game. Bad assumption. Most youth soccer is played at the club level, and Stoddert DID have a full schedule of rec games at Fort Reno that day. Sidwell is irrelevant. I presume that Sasha and/or Malia play for Stoddert teams.

BTW, Fort Reno is NOT a high crime area, as DC goes. It's in upper Northwest, just off Wisconsin Avenue. I doubt if you could touch a home in the surrounding area under $700,000, and the average is probably over a million. It's not a gangbanger neighborhood. Both Wilson and Deal are among the stronger DC public schools and are predomimately middle class in character.

I always have had a feeling that Obama is on cocaine, or some other type of white drug, some of his speeches his eyes are so bloodshot and he looks high. I also wonder why the President doesn’t have to submit to full scale blood tests regularly. It would only make sense, hell I have to if I wanted to flip burgers, why shouldn’t the most powerful man in the world have to?
