1. Saying "break his arm" is unacceptable at any level. Ask a lacrosse official and he will tell you the same thing.

2. Your entire paragraph IS an excuse for that behavior.


We at Madlax are used to haters because our sons play for the best club out there. We will deal with your BS and beat your kids on the field like we always do.


Okay, all you Team 9d1 parents that are getting up in "arms" (pun intended). If you haven't figured it out yet, all these posts are not coming from Madlax parents or anyone within the club. Other teams (probably in the Baltimore area) are running with this, and posing as Madlax parents. It would be a classy move, however, if the Team 9d1 MD organization would just come out and say it was poor behavior and it won't happen again. Everyone makes mistakes, and hopefully we learn from them.
