[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple question, should the professional side be subsidizing the DA, or should should the DA be subsidizing the professional club?  And by subsidizing, nobody means providing full scholarships for every player, so talking about whether Spirit has $1 million lying around is not relevant.

What is happening now is that Spirit seems to be making the DA not just pay all of the costs associated the DA (which is fair enough and what happens at other clubs) but is also requiring the DA players to subsidize the professional team by including season tickets in the team fees.  That last part seems inappropriate to me.[/quote]

Professional womens soccer can barely support itself, much less youth players in a league that requires the highest level of coaches and facilities. [/quote]

Um... is there something out of whack when the money flowing into this enterprise is for the coaches and facilities? Maybe the players should be more of the focus ....[/quote]

You're right, FCV and VDA are both free DA's. :/[/quote]
