FCA dumped half their team to take Looneys players and their coach. End of story.
Not just dumped....if you feel you need better players, so be it, this is top level lacrosse. They straight up lied to existing players about the security of their position . Told some not to come to the 3rd tryout when they slid Looneys kids in and offered them their spot after a 1 hour "tryout" show. Not the most Christian way they could have done it.
It’s sports. Not church. Hit the wall.
Correct. It’s sports. But there is a respectful way of letting kids go who have been committed to a team, and then there’s the FCA way.
Here is a quick history lesson on FCA. The organization was founded in 1954 in Kansas City, and has a substantial presence nationwide combining faith with sports. It lends its name to two lacrosse programs, one in upstate NY and one in Baltimore, but has zero involvement in running those programs. It is not as if they have priests or ministers making decisions on rosters and coaches. It is run by Baltimore lax bros cut from the same cloth as Crabs, 91, Looneys, and all the others. They know lacrosse just fine (on a good day), but nobody ever said they have good people skills or business skills. I don't think the folks in Kansas City are paying attention. So you are kidding yourself if you think FCA will do things differently than any other club because the word Christian is in its name.
