I was listing the ecosystem which is being referred to. obviously not. But they fall in the us soccer umbrella |

Not PP. You may be right. Not in the next 5 years though. If GA does everything perfect it would take that long to see any gains. |

And I’m asking what a girls youth league being under the same umbrella as a men’s professional league matters |

Sure. Which girls on uswnt play in mls next? What if a girl is playing for a club in france or England? Oh, sorry, you have to play in ga to be on the uswnt? Right |

Your line of questioning is terrible. Ask what you’re going to ask. MLS has nothing to do with GA. But MLS next does. |

There has to be something that kept or a reason why ECNL has not pursued this, and that's a solid question people still haven't answered.
Could it be that they don't want to change anything financially since it's their own way to self benefit running things how they have between ECNL, USCS, and C2S (their marketing company owned by the same people.) |

Check the 990's and see the percentage of their revenue that goes to C2S and check for yourselves who is the management of C2S. |

US Soccer doesn’t care about girls and is overall disfunctional. DA was a big failure and while having a league align w US Soccer sounds good for girls. There’s no money or reason for ecnl to do it. |

| His may not be about money but optics for WNT and pathway approaches after last WC |

| Needing to submit financial statements seems big when there appears to be smoke surrounding how they function. |

If there's no money or reason, how does this benefit anybody that's a US Soccer member? |

I think ECNL fanboys are just upset about this. I don’t think GA would announce this, if it wasn’t a big deal. Why do you think they posted it for everyone to see? Read up on what all comes with US Soccer and you will see everything coming for GA |

lol this is comical
This changes zero GA knows they are in real trouble so spinning propaganda HARD right now USWNT is 85% ECNL players (about to change with who is coming over.. hint.. its going up %wise) 80% of the first round of NWSL draft was ECNL players (take a guess which league they like). GA Bubble is about to get DESTROYED next week, watch... |

Once again, you have no confirmation or can’t tell us which clubs are leaving. GA news with US Soccer is huge news. You are trying to deny that. DA 2.0 is ecnls biggest nightmare. Just like mls next has pissed them off. |
