Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAre you people serious? I'm not defending Lips but am simply responding to the idiotic statement that he stole teams and players. How does someone steal a team? The team decided to leave, they weren't stolen. I'm sure some parents/kids didn't want to move but the majority did. And not because they were stolen, but because Smithtown was able to offer them a product (better league options) that Sachem couldn't. This happens (unfortunately) all too often in youth sports, usually because everyone always thinks the grass is greener, but so is life. But to say teams and players were stolen is ridiculous. As many have said, the teams and players have been leaving Sachem for years because the board is awful. Before Lips, any player that was even halfway decent, left sachem to go to KK. Was that Lips' fault too? No, it was because there was a better product out there.

Perfectly said....Its like saying microsoft excell stole the spreadsheet market from lotus 123 (remember this 30 years ago) Excell was a better product plain and simple.
Kids/parents will move if they are unhappy (This happens at every club every day, its not a new revelation. if they did't go to LIPs, they would have gone somewhere else).

Originally posted by Unregistered View Posthow was it a better product when it was the same trainer, same players, same training organization but they switched Sachem jerseys for Smithtown ones and were forced to train in a different location? How has that been to the benefit of Sachem?

Lastly, we really need to stop acting like Lips/Smithtown is where all the sachem kids left and went to. They did not. Most are at SUSA, LGA and still a bunch at KK.
