[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw the whole vide. He said it. Tournaments are money-making events for clubs. No need to travel to Arizona, Texas, Florida or the world to get beat by a team. He also spoke the truth about how expensive it is to play here. $20k a year. Soccer is a big business. NYRB usually does not attend these MLS Next Fest and silly events around the country because they know it is not a good investment for the parents. Clubs in the DMV should do the same but that would mean leaving money on the table from selling the BIG DREAM to the parents.[/quote]
I disagree. Why should clubs in the DMV do the same? They are businesses. Shouldn’t they do the things that make the money? That’s how I run my own business. Why shouldn’t they do the same?[/quote]

Correct.  They should make money if they are a business.  As a consumer, I can choose how I choose my money.  I don't have to support the travel and tourism industry under the disguise of development. I have not seen ONE kid in our age group that has risen far and above the rest of the age group.  Why do I need to fly to Madrid or drive to DE, PA or NJ to test ourselves when I have Arlington, VDA, etc. within a hour drive to give our kids a run.

For those who did not watch the video though, you're missing the points.

But, we the smart parents on DCUM know better than a former pro player who ran FC Delco and now at Red Bulls who actually has his kid in a Pay 2 Play club.  Cool.[/quote]
