Because it is entertaining as hell, that is why.

But seriously, look and try and find these types of discussions as they relate to older groups.

The truth is, parents with kids at this stage are all a bit looney and believe these lists and things matter more than they do.

Trust me, you’ll find out, look back on these posts and cringe, just as myself and others before you.

Sure, nobody is recruiting at this age level. Many parents like to see how their team is doing compared to others. Knowing your DC team is doing better than others...There is nothing wrong with that. I would say it's about 50/50 on parents who care vs those who don't. If anything, probably leans more to those that do care.

At later ages however, it matters more. Showcase and tournament placement is based on rankings and records just like they are at U13. For those DCs that have D1 dreams, it certainly matters.

My advice to you would be to let it go rather than insult others that enjoy the youth soccer seen. Parents and kids who also enjoy playing against the best competition they can. That is how you get better. Playing against the best. The only way to do that is through rankings.
