[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet, many of these parents have no problem destroying coaches on this exact same forum. Not a sermon, just a thought. [/quote]

Coaches are adults and an important factor to choosing a club, so hearing people’s experiences are valid and there are so many questionable coaches in kids sports. Criticizing children when you don’t understand or know anything about them is cruel. Their accolades may not always seem fair but it depends on their league and coach. 
Stop attacking kids but the coaches are fair game. Just my opinion.[/quote]

I kind of disagree, to a point. MANY of these kids know the preferences, the favoritism, etc. that they are receiving. I'm not pointing to anyone but this applies to several of the "all met" kids in the DMV. EVERY club has this. You know it. Coaches know it. The kids know it. The kids receiving the benefits know it. They share it on social, with the public, and use it to score the best opportunities. So give me a break, here.

While it's not cool to personally attack them, pointing out their preferential treatment relative to their skills is fair game. [/quote]

Disagree.  Receiving favor is one thing. Currying the favor is a whole other thing. And again they are KIDS.  Seeking acceptance and validity is part of their nature.  If they receive the accolades, good for them.  But calling out a playing and saying their recruiting is a bust is a whole separate thing.

Also if you think making mean comments about kids is fair game, what kind of message are you sending to your own kid?  Can’t we just be supportive of kids playing a women’s sport???  [/quote]

They are TEENAGERS. And I've been around enough of them who received preference to know that they know exactly what they're doing. To be clear, I have not attacked anyone on here. I just don't fully think it's off limits in an atmosphere that is so political, full of nepotism and these kids absolutely know it, accept it, and then promote themselves as if they've done it on their own merit. I can name prob half a dozen off the top of my head.

And no, I can't "just be supportive" when other kids suffer as a result of the above. Sorry.[/quote]
