Let's keep in mind that these are boys that love the game and have friends on both teams and are just trying to get better at a game they love. Nothing more. We should be thankful that we have some great competition here on LI.

Well said there were players on 91 who had played for the Express and players on the Express who had played for 91, and the thing was the kids couldn't care less who plays for who. They know who won and who lost but they do not care. The Parents are the only ones who are hung up on who won and lost and who is wearing what uniform


Good chat. One additional point to make, research your children's Facebook activity / friends list. My boy has members of 5 or 6 loccal organizations. He could probably "chill" with any and all of them, until outside influenced by a chippy sideline.
