[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, give it a rest. It's never just about "merit," all the way up to the pro level. There are talented pros that teams won't touch because they're assholes, their parents are assholes, or both. There's more that goes into decision-making than how good a player is. Done. Full stop. it's the same at your job. The same at every job. If your kid is good enough, works hard, and has the right attitude, they will get a shot. It might not be at the best team in the area (clearly McSYC United--pronounced "micksick"), but they will get a chance somewhere. Not all players are a good fit for all coaches. Sucks if your kid isn't a good fit for the team right near your house--but oh, well. Every upper middle-income schmo posting on this board was able to afford their McMansion because of someone that they or their daddy knew. Welcome to planet earth. [/quote] ummm, you are clearly wrong about affording the house. Husband was dirt poor with a single mom working 3 jobs in the midwest and my parents were barely middle class. GRIT and HARDWORK with intelligence and talent are why we now own 2 homes in the best zipcodes in the DMV.[/quote] Are you White?[/quote] I identify as purple, so there’s that. I prefer Person of Light[/quote][/quote]
