[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a PR firm or friend of Cabell - and I'm not Cabell. I'm a parent of a lacrosse player who has been with (basically) the same group of boys playing Madlax for several years.  VLC does not have the talent at his age group and from what we have observed, they have coaching inconsistencies that have hurt them. Talk to a parent of a VLC U13AA/rising U15AA player.  Blackwolf is a great program from what I understand. The cost is about the same. My son was invited to play and has considered playing for the 2018 team.  But what it comes down to for him right now is that he is having a great time playing with a great group of boys and he has made friendships that are important to him.  To me that is what team sports are about.  My son is old enough to form his own opinions about people and their behavior. We have discussed what happened, but I don't feel the need to preach to him about Cabell's bad behavior; he is able to see it for what it is. We have left the decision to him. If he wanted to leave madlax because of what Cabell did, that would be fine with me.  This is a great life lesson for him as he will unfortunately encounter people like Cabell his whole life. He sees that Cabell is imperfect and human and capable of embarrassing himself by making big mistakes. I understand that some people get more outraged over this kind of behavior.  This is just our way of handling it.[/quote]

I still don't understand why your team doesn't move to another club AS A GROUP.  You say other clubs don't have the "talent" but if you ALL left together and joined another club, you would, by definition be taking the "talent" with you, right?  Not judging your decision necessarily, but it does sound somewhat convoluted.  Why do you believe that you must play for that particular organization in order for your boys to play together.

Your decision, however, suggests that these things are "self selecting."  Parents willing to accept certain behavior will gravitate toward (or remain with) a certain club.  Others who find that behavior unacceptable will not go there (or will leave).  You are the company you keep.[/quote]
