The fact is he didn’t run off the field to celebrate with his teammates, he often would run to the box and stand there waiting for people to come to him…

Rusty really dropping the racism on us, kind of unnecessary.

When I say they are selfish I am not completely referring to their on field actions but clearly something is up and other have used the word selfish off the field.

they ran off the field to their team on the sideline after ever goal. hardly showboating

it’s more of lacrosse being populated by spoiled, rich, entitled white families that attempt to hide their thinly veiled racism.

I may not be a D1 athlete but as someone who will graduate in May and a psych major, saying they’re young kids in college isn’t an excuse either. You were in college; did you get suspended, kicked off of your team? I have managed to go through college without a drinking ticket or any other troubling issue. Are we the few, amazing college kids out there staying clean? NO, most people and most athletes are fine. I have not had the chance to read the article yet (my IL magazine gets sent to my home, so I’ll read it over Thanksgiving), but this wasn’t a crime they did, but attitude issues. That doesn’t change as one ages except for rare situations. A selfish person is a selfish person. Look at any other “look at me athletes” (Lebron, Kobe, Chris Johnson, T.O.). Have any of them become less selfish? NO. The Brattons need to be questioned about this often and need to prove they’re different. Until then, people won’t respect them.

They did an interview with Lacrosse Magazine on the subject you mentioned above, and it’s definitely worth a read.

From my POV, they were in college, made some mistakes and paid the price for it.  That topic has been covered quite a bit.  So I thought a fastball down the middle might be totally fair.  After all, isn’t that what second chances are all about?

Appreciate the feedback though in a major way!!!!  MORE controversial?  We could probably do that.

I think this was a good chat, but I think a major opportunity was missed. What happened at the end of their college careers? Interviews don’t have to be and shouldn’t be friendly chats always. Ask the tough questions. Ask the questions readers want answered. Any one can give a simple nice response like they did; lets break the ice here a bit and get to the truth. Fact is, they got kicked off a very good lacrosse team and then that team WON the National Championship. How did it feel to see your teammates do that? So many questions could have been asked. If these guys want to be treated as professional athletes, then they have to answer the tough questions. And if they aren’t answered then people are free to make their own judgments with no evidence saying otherwise. Having the chance to ask these guys is a great chance but instead they were given a fastball down the middle and hit a home run. You guys do great articles but it’s okay being controversial and push it a little.
