My kid failed to achieve his road to professional soccer dreams because the dc academy rejected him

Never mind there are many top professionals who faced multiple rejections and adversities.

Instead of obsessing over what you think dcu owed you, go do what you need to do to move forward.

If dc academy is the worst of the 26 academies in the country (based on opinion since there doesn't exist enough measurable elements) then they're the worst. 
If your kid is exceptional and you make good decisions as you should as a responsible parent, your kid will be fine. In or out of dcu.

The rest of this stuff is glorified whining and griping and tantrums and grudges.

The lead prosecutor here obviously has a personal beef and agenda and is desperately seeking a following. [/quote]

Once again.  nothing positive.  Is your child there?  Why?  Why was DCU a good fit for your son?  What do they do well?  Rather than trying to tear posters down, some of whom have provided detailed and well reasoned thoughts, talk up DCU.    [/quote]

I thought nothing positive was the theme of the thread

You don't have to have a kid at dcu (I'm sure hardly any of us do) to comment on a thread or to point out the pettiness of the hyperbole in biased personal opinions and griping. 
The herd mentality for piling on is hilarious once like minds get together to vent emotionally because they feel they too were wronged by little Johnny not getting into DCU.

I think this poster may actually be the worst indictment of DCU.  Their biggest supporter can't say anything positive.  I honestly would like to know what they do well.  My son is an MLS Next player and I've seen the regional academies, albeit at one age group.  I'm definitely not bitter about my son not being scouted by DC United.  the local professional academy could and should have a positive effect on all of the local clubs through partnerships and providing resources or even just setting an example for what a training program and system of play should look like.  And, if they had such things, they should start earlier with multiple squads at younger ages.  Depending on local clubs to find and develop talent through U13, with no DCU involvement, then "poaching" the top players doesn't feel like a great model.
