[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think accusations of racism are serious, and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Accusing coaches of being racist because an inexperienced player with questionable stick work (as all inexperienced players are) is put on defense.

Accusing teammates of being racist because they don't pass you the ball.

You'll find both happen on every team, some girls hog the ball, some girls can't catch, so players avoid passing them the ball.

Maybe there was racist undertones to those decisions, certainly not enough evidence to conclude it is accurate and irresponsible imo.

Well maybe it wasn’t racism.  Maybe it was poor coaching.  These coaches would not allow a player to grow who obviously had the potential to develop into one of the top players in the country in the position they refused to allow her to try.

From a developmental standpoint, is this the Coach you would want for your kid? And you want us to believe a coach with any knowledge of the game would not have recognized this potential had the girl been white?

If it were my kid, I’d be content with just having her play against them.[/quote]
