Well said, Jeremy.

I saw my first game of lacrosse in my first year at Syracuse, and fell in love with the sport and the Syracuse Orangemen on the spot. It's been a crazy ride through the years, but the one constant has been the players putting on the Syracuse uniform.  HHH isn't just a hashtag saying, it IS what it means to play for Syracuse.

Through the good times and the bad (thankfully few) the players are what make Syracuse Lax what is was, is, and will be.  We need to take what Jeremy says to heart.  The lax community is a small and insulated community compared to FB and hoops.  We really need to make sure what we say on the board here (yes, this is public, whether you have a handle here or not) isn't hurtful, over the top, or just plain stupid.  As JRHEETER said, they are young.  Hell, they're kids playing a man's game.  Will they make mistakes?  Sure.  But they don't deserve to be crucified for it.  Criticism is one thing.  Personal or hyperbolic attacks are unwarranted and will be dealt with quickly and with zero tolerance.  Words matter.  It's one thing for a kid's parents to read stuff like that, but to have a player read something like that (and they do), it's totally different. Maybe consider asking yourself if you would say what you want to post to the player's face.

Congrats to this year's seniors/transfers.  You will always be Orange.  Thank you for your contributions to Syracuse University.
