Hope your outrage doesn't keep you awake at night. You're a headache!

Who’s the racist now?

But seriously, if you think she’s a “Karen”? Then, don’t you think she would have said “you don’t belong here” meaning “at the table” to anyone other than Express people it was reserved for!? I think she would have lashed out at anyone other than Express team that was sitting there? Just saying

I agree, it is likely less a race thing, more a bossy donk thing. Its just that it was said to the wrong person and most definitely the lady could have been more diplomatic. She didnt think or care about what she was saying , how it could be construed and by whom. She confronted the wrong one. Play notIntelligent games get notIntelligent prizes. I mean nobody likes bossy jerks, also y she is being destroyed. Everyone is entitled to an opinion on this we got the full spectrum.

You keep taking what you've read on social media as gospel. The truth is not what you believe it to be. Keep giving on here and headache with your unintelligent BS though.

Another take on this … The lady was wrong and being obnoxious and how she spoke. From how it sounds… I really think she would have talked to the pope like that if he was in her sons seat!! So, don’t believe it was racial!

Also, the son should not feel any repercussions from the team or people regarding this!!! He is not at fault!!! Many kids have really dense parents! Kids should not suffer from their parents actions.

Recommendation: stop replying to this thread. Let’s cancel cancel culture and move on.

Wasnt this like 1000 years ago? Move on

Four months ago.

It’s just so funny how every club has its nay sayers. I will say one thing with Express my son has fun and likes his teammates and the parents are pleasant to be around.

I can find pleasant parents and fun teammates for a whole lot less money!!!!

Congratulations , then move on and go do it.

Really, for whole lot less. Most of the discount clubs fold

So true imho. The Express East crew is great

The CoachC 2029 team is now elite. There is no debate.

Yes they have reclasses and fly ins, but they are the best team at the 2029 level. And they also have the best player at the age by far.

What’s your point? Is reclassification not allowed? Is travel restricted to just Nassau & Suffolk? That’s the model that a lot of the top clubs follow to make sure they are putting an elite team out there. Can’t do it from just LI, way too saturated with so many clubs. Do I necessarily agree with that…no. I would prefer to have my son on a team with friends from the area and see them all at practice regularly. But that is the state of play in lacrosse. National teams are being built locally.

I think the point was pretty simple. They are the best team at 2029 and have the best player at 2029z

Congrats hang that on your refrigerator because it means nothing.

Means nothing to nobody. You nailed it.

Means nothing unless you’re compelled to read and reply. lol…also, I am sure everyone was looking at the US club ranking the second they dropped. It means a lot. Just admit it.

of course it means a lot. that's why there are rankings.

Do all clubs not include winter training or practice in their fee any longer?

Express East has it included. They practice all winter at the Stony Brook indoor facility.

Even the rankings mean nothing 75% of the teams never play each other it imperfectly perfect regardless of schedule strength plenty of times you see one team ranked higher than the other even tho head to head the higher rank team lost to the lower ranked team . It’s somewhat directionally accurate but far from 100% accurate. Its just another marketing hammerhead for the organization if they rank high nothing more than that

Rankings are rankings like them or not. And based on fall
results are in line. A lot of teams take on lighter schedule, especially HS teams because of football.

By the end of summer after the National Championship NLF and the event run by Top Lax our at SUSA is when it accurate. Because that is where most of the “top” tier AA and A teams come to play a 3 day event and Top Lax event. The NLF does have competition with the ALL championship that same weekend as well. S2S and Legacy are members of that. But either way all the top teams are playing that weekend and the Tues/Wed. These are a lot better in terms of competition than Crabfest and Naptown imho. But I will say IMLCA in Florida packs some great competition as well.

of course it means a lot. that's why there are rankings.

Clueless rankings would matter If majority of teams competed head to head it’s an imperfect formula ie teams like 91 last year that got ranked higher than others becuase they lplayed and lost 3 times to the number one team tell me in any world how that makes sense . Nobody is saying express hasn’t amassed a talented team but it’s a national team let’s not pretend it’s not. Still doesn’t matter at this age and for the next couple of years wins and losses mean free marketing nothing more it’s not about the kids and their development there is no true championship there is no true league and let’s not pretend all of a sudden express is about developing kids. It’s an aggregator. And for the next couple of years they will continue to bring in the new shining stars of the moment. It’s not about the kids . It’s all about the business.

Rankings mean nothing. Wins and losses mean nothing. Getting playing time and eventually in front of college coaches matters. Some of the best players won’t be on top 10 teams, they get found though. By the way the best player in the grade plays with the 2028’s, not 29 Express.

Most of the top 100 come from the best teams and clubs. Look at the LI clubs that represented on that list.
