[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]I'm still confused about how this is nepotism.[/quote]

You’re boring. Hijacking every thread [/quote]

How is he boring.  You're only picking on him because he's the only registered user. [/quote]

I figure one guy named "Anonymous" is just really prolific.

I only chimed here because I don't understand the word usage at all.[/quote]

If you are going to be a fusspot, fuss with greater precision. Your objection could be on a number of grounds, none of which you have articulated, and all of which may be rebutted, so if you want to move the dialogue along, be more specific in explaining your misunderstanding, which, I suspect, translates properly to “objection.”  (Snark would be telling you that I don’t understand your misunderstanding, but in the interest of brevity, I cut to the chase.). I suspect you think that it cannot be nepotism because (1) the teams are not blood kin, or (2) this does not involve employment, or (3) neither the 08 nor 09 teams received preference. Only the third objection seems legitimate (especially in light of their results) when we consider that people view clubs as families and commonly use nepotism more broadly to describe preference for family in selection of any kind.
