The Mission Playing Field has long been a place where local kids in San Francisco can play ball and stay out of trouble. It wasn’t until a group of rich white IT workers decided to take over the field that they were given a life lesson they won’t soon forget.
While the locals kids were enjoying a game on the field, a group of tech workers showed up to play out of turn and proceeded to tell the kids to clear the field so they could enjoy it. Rather than giving into the demands of the rich team members, the local kids held their ground on the field and refused to let the IT workers cut in line and takeover the game.
While permits may be issued to allow teams permission to play on the soccer field, it does not give them the right to show up unannounced and push locals around. Without even showing the permit they claimed to have, the rich workers demanded they take control of the soccer field.
The local kids again refused to back down, even after claims by the IT workers that they had in fact called the police. Rather than wait their turn in line, these rich thugs are heard saying they do not even care about that community.
All the while the tensions were getting heated, the locals never lost their cool, and more importantly they never gave in and gave up their right to play the game.
The rich IT workers who were later identified as being affiliated with DropBox, eventually decided that they were no match for the locals and sat down and waited their turn like everyone else.
