Parents are not part of the organization. They don’t represent a club. If a kid is on a team and wears the Jersey he is responsible for his action and if he does something inappropriate the club/team does not agree with, then he should be kicked off. The team is not responsible for what a parent says or does. If a parent says derogatory racist stuff to people?? That’s on them, personally. They are not representation for a club. If the kid did it, different story. Then the team should kick them off. Could you imagine if teams had to apologize for every dense thing these parents are doing at the tournaments!
Well, if you read any of the Twitter comments and the statement made in Inside Lacrosse and by the organization involved, you would know that the lacrosse community is outraged. An official apology denouncing the incident would have been the appropriate thing to do.
When you wholeheartedly believe something to be true, you’d want everybody else to believe it too. That’s why people immerse themselves in echo chambers so that they can receive the affirmation that they seek.
If they are in a position of power, influence, and in this case anonymity, they might abuse it and impose their beliefs on others. But it doesn’t make it ok or right.
Given you likely believe you’re always on the moral high ground, I am curious your position on the following topics: - Civil Rights - Censorship and Freedom of Speech - Abortion - Religious freedom - Affirmative action & reparations - Climate change - Death penalty - Political party affiliation - Minimum wage - Social security - Artificial intelligence - Health insurance - Labor unions - Police brutality - Outsourcing - Gun control - Foreign aid - Vaccines
