It’s literally a decided advantage of physical maturity, body composition and a deeper level of aggression. It needs to end for the integrity of the game. Anyone that defends it is a hold back apologist. Don’t say the high school excuse either because high school evens out due to puberty. It’s preadolescent kids against young men. #cheating


I genuinely understand when a late summer (July/august) kid is held back at kindergarten or whatever. But is that same kid then holds back in 5th grade or somewhere else then there parents clearly have issues. That’s basically what this kid on 2028 madlax did. It’s grotesque to be honest. And super sad. I saw that kid play a couple weeks ago. He’s so clearly way ahead of every other kid in terms of maturity. Like what is this even teaching him? It’s just weird. Plus, he doesn’t even make that team elite.

He should go play 2027 and get better playing against tougher competition…if his parents care about his future at least
