[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nearly 14 pages into this thread, no one has addressed the elephant in the room for this article.

How did a girl on the M&D B team make the U16 national team?  And yes she is the only B team player on the team.

[b]Is M&D discriminating against her and unfairly keeping her on the B team?   [/b]

Or is US lacrosse putting a less talented player on its national team to increase diversity? [/quote]

That is a really serious accusation, and completely unsupported from anything in the article, and goes against what everybody knows about travel sports.  Teams play to win, period.  [/quote]

That is exactly what the family is implying.

"After rotating between a half-dozen coaches, Kim felt relief when Peck Burmeister, a coach for the M&D Lacrosse Club, was adamant Griffin was a midfielder and invited her to join his club in January 2021."

"“One, you can’t lock her in and have her only play defense, because that’s what happens in this sport. African Americans are only in defense."

Transation, any coach that played her on D and not Middie, had racial motives behind it.

It is very, very hard to have movement between the a and b teams on the top travel teams. And not racist at all - facts. [b]Human nature is that once anyone black, white, brown, yellow has been slotted into a position, you are there for that team.[/b] Also, on different teams, your child can and will take on different responsibilities. Nothing nefarious at all.[/quote]

Obviously this is an accurate statement, but goes against what the article is saying.[/quote]
