Sometimes the best defense is a strong offense. Find a way to discredit the one saying it, so the statement itself won't be analyzed. It's becoming very popular - and successful - at covering up the facts in politics too. |
Berating another club again and again on an hourly basis = Pathetic. Focusing on general discussions and those with your own club = Not Pathetic. |
If their 06 DD couldn't beat out some 08s then they have bigger problems than Metro. |
Sadly, there seem to be quite a few of those in this area. Have you watched some of the non DA/ECNL “soccer” in this area at that age? |
Uhh, nobody said the other parents on the team don't have concern. Several have directly expressed concern. |
+1 Political playbook 101 |
Uh no. No parents expressed concern about play ups on the 06 team. You are speaking about another team. I know it is hard for you to track as a complete outsider. Sorry to burst your bubble. |
No one has said anything to you. Both teams have parents who have quietly said something to other parents they are close with but because of fear of the blowback, they don't say anything openly. |
Oh boy. You are full of it. First of all my DD is on this team. I know all of the play up parents. The idea of a blowback is a total joke. They are all good people. That tells me right there that you do not know what you are talking about. Also, they are some of the better players on the team. Any parent on the team will tell you. So the concept of anyone being upset about the play ups is plain stupid. |
| Seems like a lot of fear in the club. Aren’t the parents footing the bill? Shouldn’t they be encouraged/entitled to ask questions? |
False. I'm posting based on first-hand information. They are ALL good people, people on both teams who are fine with it and people who see the problems on both teams. I know for a fact though that some did it with the expectation it is a one time thing in the case of the 06s and with the 05s, some are contemplating leaving after this year. First hand information. |
I am sure all of you feel pretty entitled. |
LOL!!! Possible "blowback".... |
| And several 05 parents had been told the 07 was offered a spot on the 06 team and were very unhappy to see that didn't happen. |
I know - it's stupid. The parents are all friends and talk all the time. Some desperation out there. Makes me laugh. |
