[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is bias even when they want to cover with one or two color players. We experienced bias in several Ulittle years old club. I counted more than five players always Hispanic ones, first one to be cut for next level  through the different years.  I was well aware because we knew the families since U9 Rec times. If  add all them together is about 5 families I know that could confirm this fact.[/quote]

What happened to the kids who got cut? Do they move to a smaller club or a similar club?[/quote]

Some did, other stayed. It was a clear pattern and very noticeable.  Some of these boys were not cut they left because they were unhappy with coach decision. Look when daddy of blonde boy wanted more playing time or a new position for his kiddo, coach first looked at the vulnerable players. For some reason these all had a diverse background. Our talented midfielder left, our goalkeeper cut, other became frustrated of this crap.. Before that yes always the player with Hispanic background  was first on the list for the cuts.  IMO[b] these parents would keep quiet[/b].[/quote]

This happens at our club. The squeeky wheel gets the grease and some dads are incessant while the most I've said is Hello, and we've been there more years.[/quote]
