[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im glad thr 9/1+30 guy is forcing the 8/1 guy to see (kicking and screaming) that change can be good. 8/1 guy is just being a stubborn troll.

I agree with 9/1+30 that if leagues stay with 8/1 that they're going to implement a rule not allowing Aug birthdays to play fown. The reason for this is because there's no advantage in allowing playing down. In fact it actually causes problems as players get older with recruiters.[/quote]
The 8/1 troll monitors this thread. He's probably sleeping. In a couple of hours he'll be back pushing the same nonsense.

I don't understand what he gets from allowing Aug birthdays to play down. Maybe his kid is an Aug birthday and he views it as a way to make them a superstar.[/quote]There is no 8/1 guy or 9/1 guy. Not for or against anything. Leagues made the rules for a reason. You not liking hearing what leagues are doing isn't relevant.[/quote]

Leagues said they changed from BY to SY because they thought allowing more players to play with kids in their grade would translate into more players. [b]Ironically this is the same arguement they said back in 2017 when switching from SY to BY. [/b]

That's not what happened at all.  This was the reason for the 2017 change from SY to BY:

The rationale behind U.S. Soccer’s switch from school to birth year in 2017 was to align with international standards. This was supposed to strengthen our US national and youth national teams so we had more success in international play and set up more players to go pro.

You must have written the article that was cited. Just another super SY person that doesnt understand soccer from an international perspective.

I was around in 2017 and yes the people pushing for BY said it would translate to more players. It's the same thing the SY people are claiming today. (Neither group can prove their statements)[/quote]
