Message: [QUOTE="creatorsgam, post: 1800414"] A two paragraph sequence from the article caught my attention: ******** Lauder is frustrated, as he sees politics and image playing as motivating the decision to leave him off the team. “The way I see it, is, I thought they wanted to win,” he said. “I thought everybody’s goal is, ‘we want to win.’ But after all it seems like, ‘how do we want to look?’” [I]The Eastern Door[/I] wrote a story during last year’s world indoor championship about National Lacrosse League defencemen Bill O’Brien, whose father is Onondaga, but mother is Irish-American, and was left off the Nationals squad in place of three other non-passport holders. ******** Troy speaks of "image" and "how do we want to look," and I found it vague. Does the next paragraph basically hint to a ethnic/racial bias against him? Not sure why else O'Brien's mother's heritage would be brought up. [/QUOTE]
