[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so tell us how many players will be paid for by Juventus to fly to italy and train with their youth academy? how many kids will be scouted and paid for?[/quote]

The same number that Juventus said they would. None. I scoured the juventusdcmetro.com website. There is not even a hint of scouting or being paid for. Why would a parent think this? And if they do, why is it the fault of Juventus? If you join one of these branded academies expecting some kind of pathway to the professional club, you are an idiot. It looks like a decently funded and organized new soccer club. Nothing wrong with that.

I just find it so odd that the existence of these branded clubs like Barca and now Juventus trigger soccer parents so much. Is it envy of the ability to pay for it like envy of someone driving a nice car? Live and let live. Why the outrage for something other people do?[/quote]

because why you imply a team is part of a parent club's academy people not familiar with the system might think they are actually part of the academy that is intended to feed players to the parent club rather than part of a brand licensing agreement [/quote]

Caveat emptor, that's the consumer's/parent's own stupidity. And so what if they think that even if it's clear what it isn't? If they get a good experience, great.  If I want to buy Bounty instead of the Kirkland brand of paper towels, that's my prerogative.[/quote]

Maybe for paper towels but not toilet paper. Using the wrong paper towel is like being on a bad club, it will hurt your butt. [/quote]
