[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the actual topic. Is there any actual word on the grapevine of GA clubs looking to move to ECNL this coming year?[/quote]

No. Even after looking for 16 hours a day I find no news in this subject. 😀[/quote]

Sorry - I’m back - was enjoying my Saturday night out - spoils of my effort -

This thread is off topics because the joker above wants to drive home a point that soccer is for the children of the affluent and that half of society doesn’t participate because of cost - and that if everyone participated the affluent  kids would be pushed out -

The poster, no doubt, subscribes to classism and has an inability to understand that there are ways to provide your kid more opportunities. For some people, that means working more to get ahead.

The poster also has an inability to understand that not every kid participating in ECNL or GA is from affluent parents and that working lots of overtime and/or two jobs to make it work.

The poster further doesn’t understand that working 16 hours doesn’t mean you are unjustly compensated. It means you are making a decision to obtain extra compensation to pay for the extra things you may want in life above survival.  For some people, that’s soccer. For others, it’s Khan Academy.

The poster has obviously never been amongst  workers  with the ability to mKe overtime or “work doubles”.

The poster further doesn’t understand the overtime is typically time and a half or double time - which is fair compensation.

The poster doesn’t understand that while there are times that overtime may be involuntary, most people voluntarily choose to do it.

So back to the original point - not all ECNL or GA players come from affluent families. And if you were actually apart of either league, which you are not, you would know that.

Sounds like you’re on the outside looking in and feel a certain way about it.

I said my piece - I’m done - enjoy
