[quote=Anonymous]Why is it that a player’s ethnicity is thrown out there to put extra emphasis to help ones comment?  We all understand that soccer in this country is a pay to play system that caters to mostly privileged families due to the ridiculous fees associated with the elite travel leagues.  Were you afraid that if you removed the ethnicity from your comment, the comment would not hold the same weight?  Maybe you want some like minded peers to chime in?  Please step down from your high horse!  Players make it onto these teams due to their talent.  Their parents are also paying the same fees that you are paying.  Some players are accepted with scholarship/aid, but they also make the teams based on their talent.  There was no mention of the initial player and his father.  When there is no mention of ones ethnicity on this soccer forum, the assumption is that the player/adult is part of the privileged group.

This comment is for the original poster and anyone else that throws ethnicity out there for emphasis.[/quote]
