91 is built around 5 really good kids. As soon as those kids commit, the team will implode.
Crabs and Looney's have already surpassed them anyways.
Yes, both teams are now much older... It's the MD way, just get older, because you'll never be better.
Crabs have 4 kids who reclassed to their 2020 team. 91 has two.
No difference. Plus, the world has grade based teams now - rightly or wrongly - so crying about ages is pathetic.
Ok, let's stop crying about it, but since it's now very much part of the game, let teams list months and year that each player was born. No names or specific dates. Shouldn't have anything to hide. Why doesn't Crabs take the lead?
My son does not play for the Crabs or the Crush and is not a holdback.
I will say at least the Crabs responses are rational. There is a way to game the system. They have the means and the desire to game it and if you don't like it too bad. Rightly or wrongly, they are doing what they think is best for their son and everyone else can go ____ themselves. Not the most sporting of attitudes but at least rational.
The Crush parents who are upset that someone can actually provide them with a competitive game mystify me. Do they really enjoy watching their son play a 30-0 game? Is it really so bad that one time their son lost by 1? They aren't worried about their son's safety as they sometimes play up. The only reason to be upset is that they must believe that someone is taking away their glory as the mythical best 2020 team in the country by cheating. Why do you care if the Crabs claim they are the best? You can choose to play them or not. If you do play them you can view any loss the same way you view a loss to a 2019 team. Relax and hope your team schedules some competitive games so you have something worthwhile to watch. If you are relying on some kind of perverse joy in watching your son's team blow someone else to boost your sense of self worth than you may want to take another look at your priorities.
