What !!!!! 95 Glory now American Liberty Kruzers ?

[ChangeUP]

OK...........Lori mentioned it last week about a rumor that 95 Glory was swithching over to American Liberty Kruzers !!! and it was comfirmed by superfreak............and by the brackets at the HOF Qualifer.
Can someone explain why? It's seems to me that the change was pretty abrupt !!!!!
Inquiring minds want to know !!!!!!

Glory must have finally realized that no matter how many wins you get that you are still the biggest LOSERS when the cops keep being called to control your nasty behaving parents, coach and players.

Saw them play a few weeks back and the "great" ss they have lowered her shoulder to nail a nasty blow on the catcher just to knock the ball out and made no attempt to slide.

It was the most classless thing I have ever seen when the ump warned them to not try that again...watching the player and the coach smarting off and yelling at the ump. Flannigan teaches them such poor sportsmanship.It will be a sad day of realization when these girls and parents figure out that they are more known for their poor sporsmanship than any of their great plays on the field. They are a known team but not for what they think.

Congrats to the entire GLORY organization for gaining some class and increasing the respect of your "Glory Girls" by millions in one move!

Kevin finally did what Dan would not do a couple of years ago. Tell Flanigan to take his act and find a new circus. The other reason for the move is that Flanigan can now get a new group of parents and coaches to go out and sell his Electricity/ Stream Energy to raise a few more dollars. It is like seeing the Amway guy knocking on your door. Kudos to Kevin and Glory.

Question:
Do you people wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and say " I wonder what (Glory)Flanigan is doing this morning?"

There are more team out there and you people in North Texas need to get a better life than to worry about this team, their actions, and their moves. It amazes me that you are so worried about what they do and not about yourselves:roll:

Ok Ok Ok, we get it!!! This guy has pissed off some people but man, leave it alone and move on!!! Don't start another thread about this team and let them playball. All of you are proving that there are some immature adults (as posted on anothjer thread) out there that tend to hold grudges.

By the way, I have an idea why the VTD starting monitoring their posts.... its so that California and other states are not able to listen to Texas whine and bicker all the time. FYI: the other states are laughing at you.

Good luck to everyone this weekend. I will be watching 14U since 12U is so immature.

I don't think anyone cares every morning what flanigan or his "kruzers" do, but when these girls step out on the field and the decent coaches out there and parents that are trying to teach these kids that sportsmanship over a win anyday is the most important part of being an athlete that any one of you that keeps saying leave it alone and let them play ball are the problem too.

Telling other parents and coaches that they should not be concerned with displays of bad behavior, poor sportsmanship and even to the point of physical attacks in front of our kids on the ball field is just plain ignorant.

and again...I could care less what flanigan does on a daily basis but i care EVERYTIME any team sits in that dugout across from them and thinks that this is the behavior that is associated with winning.

Its just about time that someone showed that its just not right. an if you think its immature to want 12 u girls to know true sportsmanship and leadership from being an athlete then you need to get out of sports yourself because its the first thing any kid should learn all the way back in pee wee at age 5.

VTD should be trying to hide this team because they dont want the other states to see what kind of behavior is allowed at our tournaments. The TD's should have taken care of teams like this years ago by refusing to allow them to play in thier parks when they are known for bad behavior. But hiding the problem just makes it worse and it goes to show by the posting here that there are a lot of people that would have rather kept it hidden. Hiding the problem never solved it.

THANKS Kevin SHelton for finally thinking of EVERY softball player out there and not just a "W" on your books.

Its not imature...ITS RESPECT...for the game, the sport and every kid out there that wants to be a real leader regardless of the number of wins they have.

95 elite got an easy draw and they are only a good team every once in a while. too inconsistant and not enough depth. They have a good SS and 1st base (as long as the ball goes right to her 'cause she ain't movin') but 3rd is seriously week, so is the out field and their pitching staff is on or off.

He has a few good core girls but the majority of the group is really B level and that is why you never see anything from them unless they get a break in the bracket.

Why bash on Elite? Didn't they only lose to the Travelers 1-0 in their last tournament?

Also, if you look back at all the negative posts on here, over half of them are Traveler parents bashing other teams. Why do the Travelers want to be the only top team so badly that they have to put down other teams? They talk a good talk about sportsmanship on the field and face to face but on this board they are negative towards any other team that might provide competition.

Go Elite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daddyball101 is a negative person!!!!!!!! Go daddyball!!!!

[daddyball101]

TXBallClub is a sad TX Elite parent that thinks its negitive to point out the weaknesses of their team. Just look at their record not pointing out anything that the record doesnt show. Every team has weaknesses and if you face them instead of avoiding them then you usually can FIX them! But not if you think that the way to fix them is to play weaker teams at weaker tourneys just to get a win. You are not getting better just getting a win against a weaker team.

Boo Hoo Tx Elite. I am crying for you!!!

I bet the 95 team would get a big plate of "WHOOP ARSE" from that awesome little 97 Elite team!

GO RR BLAZE! Good luck against the Kruzers.
