Ricketts Team USA now U trip Pride

[JJsqueeze]

I was unclear with the "commit to play this summer". Sentence. She was willing to commit to the summer but they would not let her play until she committed to the 3 years. Posting from phone....

And smart sparkly....that's a pretty ornery first post. I am by nature suspicious but it seems weird that your first post would be on this topic. I smell PR.

Not only what JJ said. She was the ONLY player they wanted to have sign a contract. The National Team administration got what they deserved after giving an ultimatum when a player has options. Tons of egg on their face and the team has to pay for it.

I can't imagine how a kid growing up wanting to play softball would ever prefer to play on Team USA when they can play NPF with and against their idols who are still playing.

I imagine this will change in time as the Olympic greats are forgotten, but a kid coming out of college had to have watched softball in the Games and wanted to be on that field.

Sorry you removed a post that disagreed with your viewpoint.

You can check the facts in my post, and if any are incorrect, I would love to know your sources so I could consider revising my opinion.

As far as my OPINION of the actions of Keilani Ricketts and USSSA Pride, they have as much right to be expressed as JJsqueeze, Amy in AZ and the rest.

Unfortunate that you moderate based on your personal feelings.
