Yet, not real example of racism was ever provided in this "in-depth" article. Sorry, playing defense isn't evidence of racism. Seems to me, the Post woulda loved a nice piece of racism to add to the article but just couldn't find any.
Getting a Red card for calling "I got Ball", yeah, there's def more to that story.

I guess the USA Team Coach, her high school coach and the American Select coaches are all racist as well considering she plays/played Defense for all of those teams... [/quote]
I didn’t read that she had a problem playing defense.  Her mom was saying they would only allow her to play defense.  If a kid wants to learn different positions and you restrict them, that hurts their development as a player.  If she tells her high school coach she wants to try some different positions or she will find a new high school, what do you think her coach is going to do?[/quote]

I would hope, "good luck" (and actually mean it).

I don't get this whole "I should get to pick my position" thing that seems to have invaded youth sports. Play where the coach tells you to play and be happy to be playing.

Such a lazy "Get off my lawn!" take.  Today's youth sports team would kick the butt of the youth sports teams of your day.  Better athletes, better training, smarter training.  Coaches aren't God anymore and shouldn't be.  Remember when there were no Black quarterbacks?  You think those kids should just play where their told?[/quote]
Perfect example, I remember my little league day’s.  Saw several cases of the coach who wants his son (who sucked badly) to play 
QB.  He could throw ten interceptions and wouldn’t be replaced.

The same thing is still happening.  That’s why parents need to pay attention to what’s happening or their kid will be in a situation where he/she isn’t developing as a player and they are being used as a tool to help the coaches kids development.[/quote]
