[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Profiting off the misery of others during a pandemic.  Very sad.[/quote]

Honestly. People say things like this and have no idea what they are talking about. Profiting how?  Whose misery?  What misery?  Are you employed?  Making money?  Donating everything in need of sustenance to others? If not, stop the scapegoating and appreciate your life and what others do for you instead of carping and sniping about things of which you have no clue. [/quote]

Is "benefiting" a better word than "profiting" for you?  Okay.  These ECNL clubs are likely to benefit when their club parents/coaches come on DCUM and try to lure away the best players from folded DA clubs, in order to make their clubs stronger and the target DA clubs weaker.  This is a potential club benefit occurring during a pandemic when these clubs have publicly claimed they would not leverage the situation to do.  If you are one of the proxies who likes to engage in doing this then I can see why you are upset to have this pointed out.

We can cover the short-term and longer-term financial profit issue separately.    [/quote]

This is crazy talk. It’s nice for the clubs and coaches but if your kid wants to move clubs it sucks. You want your kid sitting out a year or more (with this pandemic who knows how long) because the clubs say you can not move clubs? That has to be against the law.

It’s great that the clubs are doing everything for their benefit but it is very unfair to the players. What if you are a good player but not a starter at your club because the coach favors another player, your club is load at your position or your kid see better exposure for college at another club. If your kid is u14 he or she may not be able to move clubs till u16? U15 and u16 you are totally screwed.

How about asking what is best for the player...you know the paying customers who now have no choice but to buy your product (and at whatever price because you can not go anywhere else). DCUM is not luring any players aways. Player do what is best for themselves and their family situation. At the da/ecnl level there are only a few clubs to go to and most players are staying put because of the pandemic. No one thinks about making this club stronger or weaker when you are leaving a team. They just want their kid playing and happy.

Relax, it’s just a gentlemen’s agreement and has nothing to do with the parents decisions. [/quote]

Exactly, not sure what many here are not understanding, it's just about clubs not poaching coaches or players but if coaches or players want to leave, they can reach out to clubs of interest and start the transition process if they wish.  [/quote]

Sure clubs are not returning calls. [/quote]

Wasn't saying that they wouldn't and I would expect them to return calls.  If someone reaches out to them that is not poaching.  Clubs can't force coaches or players to stay where they don't want to be. [/quote]
