What an awful waste of time with these posts..you both must have a lot of time on your hands...Unfortunately, it will be a few more months until you wake up and realize that none of this matters..go look at the 2023 board and see how things changed this year[/quote]
+1 Well said.
The reality is that in about three weeks none of this will matter at all, WSYL and NLF will be done and some ranking of 2024 teams will come out. Pathetic people whose life revolves around a youth sport will continue to post useless/hateful/derogatory comments on all of it but the vast majority of people will move on to next season and those sad, petty little people will be lost in the noise of the next season. Perhaps the only two undefeated (since the fall) elite teams will play, maybe they will not, one will win and one will lose if they do play. For the kids playing after about a day or two it becomes irrelevant to them as they move on with being a kid. Even more "truth", most parents, whether they are from LI, MD, PA, etc. are actually pretty decent people. It is the outliers that make all the noise. They talk about kid's and team's skills as if they were some sort of lacrosse expert when most of what they write shows their complete ignorance of the game, the kids and the teams. These are the people who act like buffoons at games, coach the team from the sideline, and scream at the refs. They are a minority but they are a loud minority. It is actually pretty easy to tune them out and have a chuckle at their complete lack of self control. Whether your kid plays for WP, Madlax, Taz, Hawks, LI S, BL or any other number of teams these are very talented kids, have fun watching them play. To that vocal minority most of those kids are "awful", let those people live their hateful life because at the end of the day for those kids that continue to work and have a love of the game they will take a lot away from playing the sport.
