[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][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.

Please, stop blabbering already.  Your posts are bringing no value.

All you had to say was the last part - 20-25 words. I’m not sure how many parents really think of clubs as family, but at least I’d understand the usage.

I object to your misuse of the words “legitimate,” “objection,” “brevity” and “precision,” but I’ll grant you “fusspot” and move on. [/quote]

Again, you simply object without explanation, though you appear to deny that your initial “misunderstanding” was an “objection.” I suspect this
more recent objection actually is a “misunderstanding” on your part - My usage of all of those words was correct, though I grant you that “greater precision” may have been wrong to the extent i implied there had been any precision whatsoever in your previous posts. [/quote][/quote]
