I would like to pose this question to Carol Rose (in an admittedly cowardly anonymous fashion):
Now that I nderstand your loyalties to legacies, how do you explain preference for outsiders over kids on your second and third teams who have been working hard for years to get a shot at making your top team?
When you put a new outside player's name on a fall tournament roster before tryouts have even taken place, it just reeks. Maybe you thought that choosing a tournament that occurred AFTER tryouts would fool us (ie. T3 and Lax for the Cure)?
We may be silly enough to keep coming back year after year, but we are NOT fools.
You hit the nail on the head - you're silly enough to keep coming back year after year. She's NOT a fool either, so she knows that.
My goodness people, go back, reread the last 2 or 3 pages or so, and ask yourself why do you keep coming back for this treatment? Does your daughter really love it that much? Do you morally agree with what takes place? If your daughter knew all of these backwards going ons, how would you explain that it's ok to allow someone to take advantage of you this way? I couldn't let someone walk all over me like that...
