Even though what that FC Stars director says about concerns with DA player development with some girls only playing 15-20 minutes per game, the concerns about the combined DA age groups at U15/U16 forcing cuts and parental feedback - it was all for control and power. Look at his picture closely, you can tell he is a power hungry megalomaniac. These founding ECNL clubs went into the DA with designs to tear it all down. And watch it burn! And yes, they were given an ultimatum. That makes sense. One of these leagues forced them to decide. But he is sworn to secrecy like the Masonic Lodge does so he had to the tell reporter it was his clubs decision. You know, to make DA look weak. And DA does not want to control the PR so they just let it slide. This was the DA choice to dump these terrible clubs. DA is actually stronger now! |
And as we speak...Minion #1 from Maryland. The biggest loud mouth in the board. The term "Loud and Wrong" fits you so well. But yeah, you're right. ECNL didn't coordinate this. It's all just a coincidence. SOCAL going DA, dropping ECNL. Where is your reporting on that. Tons of clubs left ECNL for DA....but ECNL is fine...right? 3 clubs leave DA for ECNL and DA is in a death spiral...right? You sir, are nothing more then a mouthpiece for your daughters team. |
LMAO. Yep, I am a paid mouthpiece for my daughter’s team. The circle is complete. You are now the hero of your own fantasy. |
Not paid..which makes it worse. http://www.ussoccerda.com/girls-academy-club-directory Above is a list of DA teams. Tell me again how 3 teams puts DA is a death spiral. Again...nothing but a loud mouthpiece |
DA Dad - Someday you may realize that what you are doing - right now - is typical for someone who loses a debate. When you realize that your logic is a house of cards and what you wrote makes no sense it is common to resort to name calling and trying to change the argument. Nobody said death spiral. But DA is weaker with those 3 clubs leaving. And they are leaving because they are doing what they think is best for their club and girls. There is no conspiracy. They went into DA with the best intentions and after one year it’s a philosophical difference. That is my argument. |
ECNL dad - what debate have i lost? I'm eating a sandwich laughing at you. Are you proclaiming yourself a winner of a make believe argument?
Riddle me this: If the DA is weaker without the 3 clubs mentioned, then what is ECNL who lost 90 percent of their tops clubs to DA? |
DA Dad - ECNL was weakened when DA started a year ago. Nobody argues that. So we agree on that. You don’t think DA is weakened now? |
If DA had beem weakened then ECNL has been disamated. ECNL is fighting back and USSF is acting arrogant as if they can't lose this war. Foolish of them.
Anyone who played ECNL last year in the MA division knows it's not the same. Those Carolina teams are low level EDP teams. There are still some very good ECNL clubs and teams around that are better then DA. Without question. However, the league is substantially weaker then DA. That is my point. |
Ok this argument is reasonable. You had lost me before on the power grab and ultimatum arguments. I hope it clears up soon. Makes it difficult to know what to do.
BTW my daughter is not ECNL. Too young. I am on this board to learn and get a better idea of what to do in a couple of years. |
So, you're a parent of a u9 player with no DA or ECNL experience getting into debates. No wonder power grabs and ultimatums are above your head. |
LOL. Thanks Yoda, you know me so well. I guess my personal experience playing travel soccer or life in general never prepared me. |
How are ID sessions and tryouts going for everyone? |
Word is Spirit DA sent an email out last week; official offers come this week |
