Awwwww.  Poor you has to read an opinion you don't like.  Life is rough.  Go do your sour scolding on another thread if you can't take it in here.[/quote]

It’s not about agreement it’s about beating a dead horse. Get this upset about things in life that matter. [/quote]

It's a chat forum...a complaint department....a suggestion box.....I am not the one misunderstanding this place.  What are you doing here?  Just spending your precious free time cheerleading for our  great youth sports environment?  Sure you are.[/quote]

No, just because it is a chat forum does not mean it is a complaint department. And not every complaint is valid or feasible. And nobody likes a complainer. This forum is negative enough without an entitled baby like you chiming in constantly with pipe dreams of a revolution.

The reality is, you don’t really care at all about the state of soccer, you only care about how it affects you and your kid. Ultimately, since that is your take I could care less about you, your kid or your concerns because in the end they are only about you.

You’re the type of person who would get pissed off when a friend changes their once shared Netflix password on you after years of you never paying.

Just respond to the substance of the conversation.  The name calling and stupid analogies are dull and uninteresting.  Just say why you are such a fan of the current youth soccer landscape and  leave out the dull childish go away stuff.

I dont disagree that soccer is of little consequence.  It could vanish tomorrow it entire and life would carry on just fine.  But you are in a soccer chat forum by choice.  if you dont like it just find something better.[/quote]

The substance is:
1. Like golf, tennis, gymnastics, if you can’t afford it don’t do it. I don’t ski or go to the movies either. They cost to much so I DONT DO THEM! I don’t demand that they change their model to suit me. I wish I could eat at Ruth Criss too but instead I can only afford Outback.

The substance of your argument is that you believe a system needs to bend to your will. This system is not a thing anyone needs. It is an extra curricular activity and nothing more. Put it in perspective and perhaps YOU will see the light.

Healthcare, education, affordable housing, THESE are the things that are important and things “We need to get serious about”. Soccer is a game, nothing more. I don’t care if your kid can afford ECNL. It isn’t compelling. I do care if you can afford prescriptions for your kid. One is more important than the other.

Much more interesting and useful post IMO.  I agree with much of your post.  [b]Not sure where you got the idea I can't afford ecnl or gda.[/b]  I do wish there was a better product available in the market but there is not.  I am entitles to state that I wish there was a better product available.[/quote]

Bolted above:

I don’t know whether or not if you can or can’t afford ECNL/DA but the substance of your argument has been focused on cost not the product on the field. The substance of your argument makes you come off as an entitled Karen.

Frankly, ECNL and DA are showcase leagues. That means they play in showcases and to a degree can guarantee a level of exposure to college coaches in a competitive formate. This model works best if the college coaches and the players are all at one location. Things cost more at a indoor shopping mall too but built into that price is the convenience of multiple stores in one place.

And while DA and ECNL doubles the showcases for college coaches they can still see twice the number of kids more economically. And the existence of two showcase leagues means more kids have an opportunity to be seen and fewer kids will fall through the cracks. Most kids in these leagues just want to play in college and are not interested in a pyramid geared solely towards the National Team. The kids you speak of would actually be harmed by one gate keeping league. The financial burden of attending ID camp after ID camp can very quickly outpace the cost of ECNL just to be seen.

You just love it so fortunate you.

If your player wants to play with with and against high level talent at most positions on the team and not with just a few strong players on a team, it is not available with very very few exceptions.   Mine has played school sports with and against talent (that is not playing in these super leagues) that surpasses some of the the "elite" talent in  these leagues.  is what it is. you love it and I do not.  The earth spins on.[/quote]
