[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw the whole vide. He said it. Tournaments are money-making events for clubs. No need to travel to Arizona, Texas, Florida or the world to get beat by a team. He also spoke the truth about how expensive it is to play here. $20k a year. Soccer is a big business. NYRB usually does not attend these MLS Next Fest and silly events around the country because they know it is not a good investment for the parents. Clubs in the DMV should do the same but that would mean leaving money on the table from selling the BIG DREAM to the parents.[/quote]
I disagree. Why should clubs in the DMV do the same? They are businesses. Shouldn’t they do the things that make the money? That’s how I run my own business. Why shouldn’t they do the same?[/quote]

Correct.  They should make money if they are a business.  As a consumer, I can choose how I choose my money.  I don't have to support the travel and tourism industry under the disguise of development. I have not seen ONE kid in our age group that has risen far and above the rest of the age group.  Why do I need to fly to Madrid or drive to DE, PA or NJ to test ourselves when I have Arlington, VDA, etc. within a hour drive to give our kids a run.

For those who did not watch the video though, you're missing the points.

But, we the smart parents on DCUM know better than a former pro player who ran FC Delco and now at Red Bulls who actually has his kid in a Pay 2 Play club.  Cool.[/quote]
Absolutely. We are all consumers and have a choice. So why do so many complain about the way the system works and how clubs act as if they don't have any choice? There are alternatives and we are all free to choose them. I can't think of anything else but youth soccer where people who have chosen to participate complain so much about the choice they keep making. [/quote]
