bill to limit athletic field use (Page 2)

Yeah I don't think so. Beachgoers throwing sand on your property is mallicious. A soccer game with parents cheering for thier kids isn't.  

What about muzzling the pelicans?  Are you saying that crowds are running into peoples living rooms and muddying up there carpets? 

Really, the issue is potential noise pollution, key on potential.  I grew up a soccer kid and practices, conducted primarily during the week, are generally minimally invasive from a reasonable noise pollution standpoint.  And why exactly would Sundays be taboo?  Adult softball doesnt generally have a bunch of dudes doing cheers for each other.  Are there problems?  Sure, but deal with them as they come up instead of painting broad strokes at all facilities in the area.  Parks are a key component to a communities quality of life.  I am sorry but it pisses me off when folks try and take a fire hose to a matchstick.  Common courtesy and common sense really seem to be taking a vacation in this day in age where folks want to roll out their lawyer everytime something irritates them. 

In the situation with our kickball league/field issue here, they were going to pull the plug on us completely at a park in the central city where houses are directly adjacent to the park due to noise based on complaints from one homeowner.  It went as far as the aldermanic level where our participants in the district, who pay taxes for the field, showed the benefits of having people in the area being able to use the park, previously a ghost town at night and haven for bums/underage drinkers.  In the end, we compromised and cut an hour off our time at the field.  That is all it take. 

If they arent going to use the parks, then raze em, sell em for homes right next to these folks where others are looking in their windows and their kids are playing outside anyway.  Right now most parks are public property.  Roads are public property, etc, etc.  The noise pollution that comes with it should be mitigated under reasonable terms that dont override the publics use of the amenity just so someone can drink a lemonade on their porch at 6:05 to watch a large, quiet parcel of unused land. 

I dunno, I have seen a few parent on ref attacks in my younger days.  This could easily spill over into the neighbors koi pond, or something like that.
