DCE28 parent here. We just received notice that CM from Madlax is trying to block us (and only the 28s) from playing NAL this fall. Guess he's replaying the NLF model he has used on Next Level for years. If your kid plays for an NAL member club, you should light them up for blocking a team that wants to compete. Pretty weak sauce taking out your failures as an owner and coach on a group of 8th graders....but I guess we should have assumed this would happen given the fact several players on the new 28 DCE team is made up of old MLers who saw the light.
Thought I would just put that out there for the salty BOTC community to digest. It's weird he is focusing on DCE, though, given a sizeable percentage of existing ML players -- across several age groups -- are playing for MOJOs this Fall. The guy can't even control what happens in his own house as it is collapsing.
If this is true, why would anyone be surprised? This guy got kicked out of the third day of the Vail tournament this summer for putting his hands on a ref. He didn’t show up the first morning of Naptown a week later with no heads up, kids played without their coach. He forfeited 5 minutes into the Semifinal game against Red Hots at Naptown and didn’t tell the Tournament Director or the RH coaches, left them to wait 4 hours through weather delay.
This is the tip of the iceberg. Bullied 13 year olds over text and DM on Instagram after their parents told them they’re leaving for a different team, calling them “Quitters.” There’s a laundry list (on record) of inconceivable stuff this clown has said and done to kids and parents on his teams. So no— nobody should be the least bit surprised if he has blackballed the 2028 DC Express team from competing in the fall NAL event. Hopefully his business partners at NAL realize that their reputation is on the line here as well and call his bluff.
