Congratulations tx spirit 01s

Congratulations must be shared publicly to the tx spirit north 01 team for winning the North Texas tournament this weekend. I’m sure as a lake highlands D1 team playing team from Plano and ???? you are very proud. We can’t wait to beat you down again in the spring. Maybe this time you can keep your mouthy racist parents to shut up and take it like men.

Ouch, wish I knew what this one was about...

Kicks is a very good team. The 01's appear to have something special there. However, the parents do tend to have a reputation. The above will do nothing to dispel that reputation, but instead will add fuel. Was this post really necesary? I don't think Kicks had a team that played in that tourney in this age group, so this post must just be bring up old stuff. Get over it.

With that being said, I do not know the backstory, but to do this just seems petty and immature.
Instead of posting some back handed compliment, just say congrats, or don't say anything.
Given the reputation of some Kicks parents, I imagine congratulating another team is not feasible. This post will do wonders to make that reputation go away too.

Please note, I do not a kid that plays for Kicks, Spirit, or even an 01.

Wow, this is going to be interesting! " Popcorn, get your Popcorn here"

When confronted with racism, don't give them the satisfaction of perpetuating a negative stereotype.

Note, I sometimes have trouble adhering to my own advice.

I wouldn't need to explain this to anyone who has been around the '01 group, but you appear to be an '03 or '04 parent posting with such conviction about '01 parents.

1) The OP is not a kicks 01 parent. There has never been any controversy or ill will between kicks and texas spirit...actually most recently there has been respect shown to Texas Spirit's style of play (i.e. they attack and refuse to bunker). Not only that , very few kicks '01 parents post on this forum. None of them that do are anonymous - everyone (in '01) knows who they are.

2) The 01 group has one user who has 10-15 different accounts which he uses to create controversy. One of his favorite targets is kicks, and it dates back several years. It is my OPINION two of this user's accounts are posting in this thread.

3) Even if you are an 03 or 04 parent, your join date says 2012 and you have over 300 posts. You should know better than to piggyback on any first time poster who creates an account to flame. Unless you have an axe to grind, your assumption that the OP is a kicks parent is unreasonable.

The OP's post is an attempt at defamation, has no place on the forum, and should be deleted.

In hindsight, you may be correct. If so, apologies.


The assumption that he is a kicksparent though, did not require a lot of deductive reasoning. Name and avatar. I really don't do a lot of investigative reporting regarding someones name, history, etc. Apparently you do. Did you happen to run my credit while you were looking into my background? If so, let me know, I want to know what my score is as I want to make a large purchase soon.

Nice back handed compliment by the OP (definitely not a kicks parent, IMHO).  Texas Spirit had no control over who registered or did not register for this tournament.   If anything, with the weather as it was, they could have laid an egg, and done far more damage to their competitive reputation.  Instead, they played the games in front of them and delivered.  I am sure their competition was eager to have a chance to play a LH D1 team.  As far as I see, TX Spirit takes on all competition as much as possible. And the parents are good peeps.  Speaking of that weather,  it was freaking cold!  So, good on them for competing, as well as the other teams.  My DD refed Saturday Night and Sunday Morning,  it was not pleasant, but she was happy to get the experience in.   I think she would have rathered played for an hour then refed for four hours straight!

Here's what I know for what it's worth. The tournament director was looking for one more team and the club, NTFC reached out to Quen and invited them to join with a few days before tournament started. I'm sure the TD looked for other teams as well. My 01 DD and her teammates played Spirit this weekend. No disrespect to them. We signed up expecting tough competition.

I didn't follow the rest of their games but the final seemed to be anything but a route: A 0-0 tie through reg and two 5 minute OTs led to PKs. I think Spirit finally won on the 8th girl.

Both teams played hard which was really something considering the weather. That really sucked. I guess losing after enduring 2 hours of that weather was sufficient motivation for both teams to dig deep.
