[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] You are an idiot and know nothing about most of the people around you. I did not know my father and my mom was on AFDC. I am where I am for many reasons, but chiefly because I have been doing circles around almost everybody my whole life in school or work. Grow up and stop making excuses for your own shortcomings, of which I am sure there are many. [/quote] Yawning over here...but then again, a hit dog is gonna holler. The point remains that in football, as in all aspects of life, who you know matters. Zidane's kid probably didn't "deserve" the shot he got at Real, and Messi's kids didn't "earn" their spots at La Masia. But high-level football is an equalizer and everyone eventually ends up where they should be.[/quote]
