I find it selfish, greedy and downright laughable that students are saying there aren’t enough soccer fields on campus. There must be hundreds of acres of valuable campus real estate devoted to that sport, yet they claim they need even more space?

I also agree with Ryan. Most of that skate park was self-maintained and constructed. Ohio State’s stance on the importance of the park became evident when they started removing ramps because people were tagging them; a move that I thought was ridiculous. When basketball courts, park benches or other “conventional” recreational facilities get vandalized, the powers that be don’t destroy those facilities or take them away, they fix them.

The idea that they assumed that the same people tagging the ramps must be the same people using them is insulting and simply playing on stereotypes.

There are plenty of respectful adults (many of which are students or alumni) that used that park all the time.
