It is sad that this young man made a poor decision and it will more than likely cost him a great career and perhaps more on a personal level. It is sadder that people like you come on this forum just to bash someone because you feel your daughter has been treated poorly. I assume you left TG at this point. There are so many choices now on LI for girls lacrosse and hopefully, you found the right fit. Step up and show some maturity for an adult, this sad situation carries a little more weight than getting yelled at in a youth lacrosse travel organization. If your daughter gets the chance to play at the college level, she had better get ready. I can assure you the experience entails a lot more yelling and expectations. My daughter played for TG and there were some stressful times. I feel it better prepared her for the college lacrosse experience. Good luck to all[/quote]

Perhaps you misunderstood my comment or your reading comprehension is poor. I'm in no way diminish the act of drunk driving. Whether I said "Bad" or "Horrible" I believe you got the point. My comment centered around what seemed to be a personal vendetta against this person because of a perceived verbal abuse when their daughter played for TG. Again, in no way did I "minimize" drunk driving. Like you, I believe it is a terribly selfish act, and they will pay the price on a personal level. Thank God no one else was involved. Hopefully, they will get the help they need if there really is an issue with this behavior in the past.
