Thug play? That’s ridiculous. 10 year old kids here. That kid with red card quite possibly best player on that team. Not even my team and I know she’s not that type of player. Still many good players left on field for that 3 minutes I would imagine to get job done. Sad to see grown ups on here calling kids names.
Regardless of her being the "best player" on the team or not... that was a pretty deliberate swing of the stick at the girls head. I have been watching girls lacrosse for many years at many age groups and it is not too often that you see a direct red (especially at 5th grade level). I'm not blaming the player, but it is the result of a team that is being taught to play dirty, they take way too many yellow cards to begin with. That team is too skilled and talented, it is a shame that they are being taught to play like a bunch of thugs because they can win without playing dirty (and it cost them in this case).
