kevin day (disdainfully): lacrosse
- Kevin and Neil HATE lacrosse more than life itself
- Once, Andrew calls Exy ‘stickball’ and lacrosse ‘stickball on grass’
- Kevin isn’t sure what he’s angrier at: the fact that Andrew called it stickball, or the fact that Andrew insinuated that lacrosse was the same as Exy when it obviously isn’t
- Kevin criticizes the new Foxes by telling them they would be B-list lacrosse players. One boy bursts into tears.
- In one memorable interview, Neil calls Riko the lead attacker of Edgar Allen’s lax team
- Wymack is furious. Nicky is ecstatic
- A lacrosse player: “I hope making fun of us makes you freaks feel better about your shitty lives and shitty team”
- Neil: “I am sorry that you are stuck playing for a less exciting, less popular wannabe version of Exy. I am also sorry that your daddy wasted lots of money on Exy tutors trying to make you less horrible. It obviously failed, because you’re stuck with this pathetic excuse for a sport, and could never hope to be even a quarter the players we were. Clearly you’re projecting your bitterness on your own lack of talent, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to bad-mouth my team. You can kiss my ass and my championship trophy.”
- Neil, on twitter, keeps liking and retweeting articles about why Exy is better than lacrosse. His PR team has given up trying to get him to stop
- One brave reporter asks Kevin what will happen if his daughter doesn’t like Exy. Unfortunately, Kevin has had several stressful games and a couple of nightmares about the Nest; he’s too tired to control himself, so he says, “As long as she isn’t a lacrosse fan, we’ll figure something out.”
- On some late-night practices, the lacrosse team swears they see a figure watching from the top of the bleachers, a black trench coat fluttering in the wind and a chess piece tattoo on his left cheekbone.
- He watches scornfully for a few minutes before turning away.
- “Sometimes, when I feel bad about myself as a striker, I like to watch them practice. Then I realize that I could be much, much worse,” he tells Jean in one video call.
