soccer specific. Soccer will always have RAE. It doesnt need to have trapped players. This is what the issue is. You cant have a system that crushes one group with TWO massive issues. |
Congratulations, you actually proved my point with an old synopsis of RAE and age-cutoffs, but it seems you’re too blinded by your opinion to read the footnotes. |
What do you think this chart shows or proves? |
Is “crushes” a measurement or an emotion? Can you show the empirical data that “trapped” kids have had actual negative outcomes due to primarily to the age cutoff? |
Except trapped leagues/teams are sometimes better than whatever the 9th-grade HS experience. If you really think about it, those players 9th-graders can be "trapped" in a way, too. No club BUT on a team that may/may not have a freshmen OR JV squad and/or on a team with lots of upper class men who may not have as much experience. |
| We done need to do work for you. The change has already been approved. Enjoy need year. |
Ok, you didn't make it clear that you understood that youth age cutoffs had an impact on the month distribution of college athletes. |
Still missing the point. Go back, re-read what I said. That data isn’t what you think it is, or show what you think it shows. College soccer is more like the Pros or HS than a club team. |
It isn't the birth month distribution of college soccer players? Do tell. |
No, it’s not that. I get why you think it may be, but if you look closely, you’ll see it isn’t, and maybe you’ll see my point. |
You outsmarted yourself. It didn't need to be that way. |
Yes, thank you, let's not talk about RAE again and argue more about 8/1 and 9/1 and whether MLS ext stays BY |
🤷♂️ if I explain it you dig in. So I waste my time. If you find it yourself, maybe you’ll understand. Or…you could just refuse to figure it out and we have status quo, which is like you digging in. Only one of these results in my putting out useless effort. |
So youth age cutoffs impact who plays sports in college and this knowledge isn't new. |
