Does a last name make a good player? Seeing it happen all to often at tryouts.
Apparently yours does not.
My son made the team. Did I touch a nerve? Guilt by association? Feeble minds are so easily goaded into revealing the truth.
Nope...not a nerve touched and no guilt. My son made the team, based on pure talent! Just sick of hearing the whining & annonymous nasty posts. Im sure its going to be fun listening to you on the sidelines of this tournament!
So why bash a simple question. There are and always will be players who make teams and take up spots of players who deserve to be there just based upon thier pedigree. I am glad your son made it but why be a jerk when some asks a question. What is nasty about it? Not calling any individual out just making an observation. Maybe the selection process for this event was or is different than others but in past 2017 events some choices have been questionable and then you find out last names or team affiliations. This is a discussion forum.
I have to start with, that was not a simple question. There has been a whole lot of bashing going on regarding this team selection. These are 13 year old boys & very talented ones @ that. Your "observation" is your opinion. You made the accusations of "touching a nerve" or being "guilty by association" & went as far as calling me "feeble minded" & now Im a "jerk". Talk about bashing! As I explained Im none of the above. I am just sick of hearing all the "Lax Daddys" that know better.
Ok in my opinion it was a simple question. So much talent and happy my son is part of it. When I said how important is a last name the response was "apparently yours isn't" that's not being a bit condescending? In my opinion it is. The fact that my son made it on talent and not on lacrosse pedigree makes me proud. I am no way questioning the overall talent of these 2017 boys but the selection process. Why get so upset with my opinion. Debate discuss its all good. I apologize for my feeble minded comment but my interpretation of your response was that maybe just maybe your 13 year old made the team because of the team he played on etc. I am not saying he did and have no idea. It's just that as in another post talent by association. Please don't take it as I am referring about your child. Just wish the selection process were different. As a lacrosse parent I have seen the faults in the process these past 2 years.
