[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]You could have simply said "Barca has lured players away from VDA" and it would not have been so hyperbolic. And that would have actually restated the claim in proper context. You took the OP's comment and embellished it with "Tons" as a descriptor when such a claim was NEVER made. You inferred "tons" when a "couple" would have been more accurate.

You completely misrepresented and restated the quote as an embellishment when such a claim was never made. On this point of fact you are wrong and your statement was leading and inaccurate. [/quote]

We'll agree to disagree about whether that was harmless hyperbole, actually painting with less of a broad brush than you do "Barca's critics," or some sort of "inaccurate" statement.

And I think it's unfortunate that you're clinging to that as the rest of your prosecution has fallen apart.

Sorry to ruin everyone's popcorn-binging -- save me a kernel or two. Or tons.

RSD,

For the record, I actually enjoy your podcast and some of your material.  This thread is a pretty clear depiction of what is wrong with soccer in our area, the competition for our pocket books is much stronger than the competition to get good kids to develop.  Focus on names such as VDA, Loudoun, etc versus the merits of good training.  Open versus close leagues....etc.  I'm new to Barca and was lucky enough to have older kids go through some of the other clubs in the area so I have at least "a" perspective.  I'll repeat, BARCA is much more a school than a team that competes in XYZ league.  In fact, i think they would not have joined EDP if it weren't the obvious issues of attracting new players, kids our society want to compete, training and doing internal scrimmages is not going to bring in top talent.  Open market place and as consumers we get to choose, I would just leave it at that.  I don't criticize parents for staying with our old club or moving to other clubs in general.  Fact is, the club scene has not worked that well with most of your youth players not playing any higher than the U12-U14 level so if Barca has a system that "might" work....worth a look in my opinion.[/quote]
