[quote=Anonymous][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]

It's a legit point.  M&D had only 3 other players on the team, one of whom was an attacker.   Is M&D is keeping a national player on their B team that is a legitimate question to ask.[/quote]

She made american select as well, over several M&D black midfielders.   not accusing M&D of bias, but something feels off.[/quote]

She didn't play midfield at AS, she made it as a defender....  Maybe, just maybe, she's better at defense than midfield.[/quote]

Looking at that roster - there is one middie that does stick out, ie school and team.   Girl in question. Not so much.[/quote]
