First off, what allegedly happened the other night wasn't an optimist game. It was a high school football game. Secondly, I'm not sure what part of the city you "lived in", but shootings at optimist games aren't the common thing you're portraying. Stop that nonsense. I played optimist in the 80's, my son played in 00's, and my nephews play today. In all those years, I can only recall seeing a shooting just once. And that had nothing to do with the game I was at, but just a couple of dope boys settling some ****. Now, fights/altercations on the other hand, are far more common than what should be the case. But as far as shootings are concerned, I can't say that. I can't talk for down south, but I'm speaking on games that I've watched/played at such as Bunche Park, Scott Lake, Gibson, Hadley, Tacolcy, etc.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't change a thing about being born & raised in Miami.
