Must of hit a nerve. Re read the post. It didn’t say 100 girls could make the team - so you’re daughters specialness or amazingness isn’t diminished.

The post did say the US could of taken ALL 100, created 4 (actually 5) teams and they would of finished 1-4/5.
But of course you feel slighted, because that view shows the competition and performance maybe wasn’t as special as US Lacrosse social media posts would lead you to believe.

The 2nd word in your post is lost - and assume your daughter (or your friends daughter or whomever) is being belittled and of course automatically has more recognition and by default is 100% more amazIng. Your response shows exactly what’s wrong with Lacrosse and the chosen ones of special entitlements.

You are right there weren’t 100 that could of made the final team and didn’t - but there were more than the 18 who made it that could/should of (but likely didn’t have the political capital or some tie in or unfortunately didn’t attend NW. A fact that is certainly lost on you because your connection made it on pure merit.

What country - after being beaten 25-0 or 26-0,
is going to honestly put money into investing in a game vs soccer or basketball or frankly most any other women’s sport?

I’m happy for the team and proud of the girls who worked their butts off for a year to be a part of it. US should of won. But the rest of the teams were weak and the talent level (other than a handful of girls - girls that’s were from the US by the way) more on par with JV Lacrosse at the high school level. Some teams they played couldn’t throw or catch with opposite hands. Not hating. Not jealous. No ace to grind. Just a fact.
