If by racist you mean pointing out white privilege.

They don't get it. They think the reason their kids aren't getting noticed is because they're white.

You are being very modest. Your daughter definitely has a chance to play beyond NPL. You've done a fantastic job with her! You're the best.

Isn't that almost always the case with the Revs - younger players get invites then are never invited again?

Could be a little bit of both but based on history I'd say it skews more towards the Revs side.

Maybe Taylor Twellman needs to have a passionate conversation with his boss (Revs) with the same passion and conviction as his ESPN commentary. Like he says everyone including him is the problem.
