[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a slightly different gripe about this situation than some others. I was one of the people who initially defended American Select, thinking they would never select a player without a tryout. I feel silly now, and apologize those who initially made the truthful claim. I still don’t quite understand why American Select would risk damaging their reputation in this case. American Select was already sort of teetering in the area with All-America gaining traction, including with top MD players, and at the very least this is not going to do anything to help them going forward. [/quote] I'm not sure how much they care. Whether they're fielding the best team, or just a team of 23 or 24 girls, they're still hitting their quota. And there will always be 23 or 24 girls willing to pay and play. In some regions they have 4 teams per age group, clearly everyone knows this is just about them making money, and yet people still pay to be on the 4th team. People can say all they want it's about the experience or the exposure, but in the end most girls playing in this region don't need either. It's about getting to say you made it and seeing your name on a roster. The even itself is meh. [/quote]
