Absolutely toxic. Talked to a few people before the U19 Tryouts. Very sad listing to the bitterness from some and the spin from others. One mom (daughter was not invited) went on about how even the 109 players was "all politics". Another person (father) of player that was invited tried to set the tone before the tryouts even began. Preemptively setting his narrative for when his daughter did not make the team. They all try to paint a picture of how the tryouts have nothing to due with talent. They want us to believe that it is all about connections and politics. What they really want us to believe is that their daughter deserves to be on the team but the tryout is a joke. This very same rhetoric has been on display for many years from many of the same people. There is always an excuse, politics always playes a role and nothing is fair. From select teams to recruiting there is always some nefarious reason as to why their daughter was not recruited, selected or whatever. Jealousy, bitterness and spinning tales is what the sour grapes produce.
Certain people will never get it.
