[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is wild. Families can do whatever they want.  If there's a kid playing well and they want to see how they do by stepping up in competition and going club theres no problem with it.  If a family doesn't want to go that route and do county there's no problem with that either.  You people crying about club soccer teaches entitlement have no idea what you're tallying about.  It's just a deferent route.  [/quote]

Back from commercial break.to recap: if you care about larger issues in sport…in America.  We are currently  not getting many of our top physical  talents. Some, yes.  But how to get more?

We get that your lawyer wages pay for your kid - and you seem fine (from a random post) with current system and go all laissez-faire.  But ask yourself this classic ESPN question… how does a Lebron James pick soccer if it costs 20,000 a year? (Talking with travel to top showcases/tournaments.  Maybe you don’t- but Larla’s place on EDP squad is not in jeopardy I assure you with this broader discussion (hence why other countries’ methods discussed).

Lebron James didn’t choose basketball because soccer cost too much. Basketball is more popular here. He grew up idolizing pro basketball players. If not basketball he would have played football. Or baseball. The top athletes in the US don’t aspire to be soccer players. They just don’t. The truly special athletes could excel at lots of different sports. Even if soccer were free they would still choose the popular ones. [/quote]
