" Why is it wrong for someone from Lexington to support his/her team? Nothing mentioned in the first post was rude....or stupid for that matter. Lexington fans should be able to support their team without being discriminated by someone who is just jealous of the superior program Lexington continues to have year after year. The posts here should be for fans only....to support their team, win or lose. "
