Northern California Volleyball Association can get any respect. This time around they have to share space with HempCon 2012, San Jose’s medical marijuana. Now I can understand not wanting break bread with a bunch of pot heads. (That my feeling about medical marijuana outside established clinical uses think medical clinic and hospital under strict control). What caught my attention is their distain and ignorance of furry fandom “

“This weekend stirred up uncomfortable memories for Skov of the most recent Northern California Volleyball Association tournament at the convention center in January. The place was overrun with “furries” — people who dress in animal costumes — at FurCon. “First we had the fuzzy people, now we have HempCon,” Skov said. “Come on, San Jose! What’s happening?””

“The same thing happened in January when the NCVA learned it would share the convention center with FurCon. “Some of the other parents told me they had checked into it and found things that made it out to be basically a porn fetish convention,” said D’Aquino, who conceded his knowledge of furries is based on an episode of television’s “CSI.””

There two problems I have, unwillingness for the Volleyball group to share and a hideous mischaracterization of furries.  Frankly if Volleyball group doesn’t like it they can go elsewhere.  The so call adults in the group can find a few university campuses  play in.  Unlike  pot con Having a furry con next-door   is no difference in sexuality as would be an  Anime convention instead and illegal drug uses is not tolerated at both furry and anime convention   Now aside for Mr.  D’Aquino’ s demonstration his inability to tell reality for TV,  there another kicker.  Middle and High school students   are growing demographic in the furry fandom.  I been seeing more 13 to 17 year olds students are joining Furtopia, an all ages G rated furry community.  Therefore it conceivable some of your players and siblings are furies.

.  Giving the choice HempCon or Further Confusion, I say you daughter Mr.  D’Aquino is safer at a fur con. In addition I think Confusion my want to give San Jose the heave ho and find more fur friendly waters just like Athocon and Pittsburg.
