[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You brought up a certain player when none was mentioned. What triggered your need to post about that certain player? That is the definition of sensitivity.[/quote]

Going after a team anonymously is going after the players.

If a person is not willing to name the team they are from that gave them such insight to criticize then perhaps it is best to keep it to oneself.

The ability to criticize does not mean one needs to do so, particularly when ultimately you are talking about kids.

Exactly what is the objective in running down a team anyways? [/quote]

AGAIN, I am not that poster. You may not like their delivery, that’s OK.

Criticizing a team is not trashing a certain player, just because you say so, but now I am intrigued. Who is this certain player?

If you are not the poster, feel free to ignore the comments then.

Nowhere was it said that "certain players" were trashed. That is not the point at all.

The point is there is no need to criticize a team of 13 year old's period. THEY WERE ALL CRITICIZED COLLECTIVELY. If you win a game, be an adult and move on. Criticizing a team of kids who lost a soccer game is punching down. Please tell me the necessity of criticizing a youth soccer team at all, under any circumstance much less anonymously.

And then on top of it hiding behind anonymity while accusing people of being "overly sensitive" about it all.

But first things first.

Exactly what makes criticizing a youth soccer team online a necessity?[/quote]

What fascinates me is that this team he’s criticizing was made up of a good number of kids who were not as old as his DD.  He said it himself.  Does that mean the “small” kids were not good players?  No.  It means that if they had a team at their age, they would be fine on that team.   It’s much harder when you are playing against older kids.  Does it mean the at age, “big” kids were bad players?  No, it means that it’s harder to play against an at age team with a full bench when many of your teammates are at a age and maturity disadvantage.   Does it mean the club wanted to play that particular team that way?   No, it means that they were picking up the pieces from the disaster the Spirit left behind when they foreshadowed USSF a year later by pulling out at the last minute.

Sure, anyone can make cracks, but the reality is that everyone made the best they could out of the crappy hand that was dealt last year.  How did the club respond?   They strengthened their partnerships and got more players into camp and onto the teams.   This upcoming year all the younger teams should have enough players that are at age, which should put them in a better situation than they were against his DD.  No reason to make such cracks when you have no idea of the history or what has changed.
