How in the world does ICE affect your kids ability to travel internationally to play soccer? Same question for SNAP? Aren't food stamps for those unable to afford food. Not those who's kids travel internationally to play youth soccer.

It sounds like you're a full time victim and you feel that everything is everyone else's fault. You should look up RAE (relative age affect) and how it an be applied you kids that play soccer. It's like a super excuse that you can use for anything. Judging from your demeanor I'd say that RAE is right up your alley.

They were talking about putting things in perspective for those with empathy, discretion and a conscience

Since RAE is proven by scientific and academic studies, you're just revealing your ignorance, with pride

HAHAHA 😆

I knew you were a RAE victim.

Now please point on the doll where RAE touched you.

Shouldn't you be in school, child?

I'm not spending thousands to send a child to Europe for a "soccer experience". However, we don't have disposable income like that either so maybe if we were rich I'd have a different view on the topic. This is getting to be a popular thing for these clubs and frankly, I find it ridiculous but that is just my opinion.

As a coach that also finds it extremely ridiculous I’ll let you in on who doesn’t find ridiculous:

My bank account and therefore, my family and the international trips we take thanks to that cash.

These are the same families who regularly take family vacations to Europe, Asia, Caribbean. A soccer experience is no big deal to so many in this area.

Glad it's working out for you; this is also why no one should feel badly that they aren't sending their kids on these trips. If you can afford it and your kid wants to go, great. If you can't afford it or just think it's a bad use of disposable income, also great!

It is only ridiculous because the 2nd teams in DC Soccer are rec level.

Many of us will be in Europe at least 3x next year. Two of them are tryout and qualification based and one was a personal invite to train with a professional academy. However, our kids can juggle 500+ times, are proficient with both feet and understand terms like an overlapping run.

It is good that folks stand up to the BS as most kids should not partake in soccer tourism. Just don't knock those who should.

+1 exhausted from the feds. this is how the rest of live all of the time. sometimes you lose your job. it happens.

You don't see the big pic, for every 1 fed there are 2-3 non fed staff that will be impacted.

I did see that big pic and consider them the same as feds. Get your paycheck from the government? Fed.

On the other hand, my kids understand "overlapping run" because it's a pretty basic term that anyone who watches a handful of professional games on TV in a year would grasp, even though they can't juggle 500+ times.

Announcing that you don't understand science and that it scares you makes everything you say fall on death ears.

Totally optional. Just don’t sign up. We’re not signing up and it has nothing to do with budget. We’re just not interested. Easy.
