"Social Media can't help. It will only add the tension!"
These are the words I uttered to my co-Volleyball players due to making a commotion on social media just because of an incorrect dissemination of the game diagram.
Last Nov 1, 2022 around 1 pm on the afternoon, our team prepared for a Volleyball league organized by the group of Agutayan in connection with their upcoming Sitio Fiesta Celebration. Because their were many teams participated, they decided to start the games early especially that it is a double elimination type of tournament. Aside from that, there were also Mens Division and Mens Basketball too.
Due to my monthly period, I wasn't able to join my team. Well, I informed them earlier that time through our group chat (gc) so that other members will know the reason why I didn't join that league. I encouraged them to participate and my Aunt stands as their Team captain due to my absence. Amidst my absence, I make sure that I am still able to make them feel that I was with the team. From time to time, I sent a message, asking them if how's the game going on and how are they doing at the moment.
Meanwhile, I was busy grinding on my side hustles around 6 pm when one of drivers came home asking me if I will go there in replace with the other member who went home because her husband said so. But I told him that I really can't go because, "sobrang lakas talaga. Haha." My mama and papa didn't allowed me to go too. I actually thought that their games are already done.
Fast Forward, around 10:30 pm when I was about to sleep after spending time with Rhed, I message my Aunt (Rhian's mom) about their game. And she said that there was a commotion happened. She explains to me everything and told her to come down and went to bed after.
The next day
When I opened my social media account (facebook), I saw a lot of notifications coming from my co-Volleyball players that are my friends on facebook. They post here and there and mentioning our team, and my Aunt's name. It was flooded with a lot reactions that made me feel kind of anxious. So immediately, I asked my Aunt what really had happened during that time. Of course, because I was not there, to be fair, I also asked the other party about their side.
Upon hearing both sides, the real deal was the wrong dissemination of the game diagram. The standing of our team was 1 loss, 0 wins while the team that they played against to was 1 win, 0 loss. So they should not be the ones to play up against to. On my team's side, I felt why they got carried away because they almost win the game at that time, but the committee decided to stop the game because, "mali daw yung team na nakalaban nila."
To make the story short, I decided to post my opinion regarding the issue. I didn't defend my team or placing my side on the other, instead, to make things be settled, I left a comment stating;
"In my opinion, there's no need to post or mention any names regarding this SMALL issue. This should be settled in person. Social Media can't help, it will only add the tension. So please both sides, KALMA NA!"
Well, I can't blame my team for reacting that way because as what they said, they waited two more games before theirs and kept on asking if the team they will be up against to is really that team, for a couple of times. They are excited knowing that they almost win the game but only to find out they up against the wrong one. "Umasa sa wala." Of course, I was there, I will be dismayed too.
At the end, my team decided to back out in that league. Right now, I am waiting my team to calm down especially my Aunt who is currently on the hot seat. "Aigoo!"

Ending Thoughts:
Issues like this must be solve through talking personally with a calm tone. Pride is there, I know that. But this is just a small issue by the way. Hearing each other's side is really a must to settle this kind of things. Hopefully, they will end up still showing the true essence of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
"HAMPANGAN...AJA!"💪
That would be all. Thank you for your time! (Hugs and Kisses)
