[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone should definitely seek the help of a therapist to understand why the thought of successful parents with kids going to elite colleges gives them nightmares [/quote]

No one has any issues with parents wanting their kids to go to elite schools.  Do what is best for you.  The issue is saturating our player pool in the professional pathway with kids that have no intention of becoming pros. Just stay in pay to play.  You'll get the same result.  Another reason why DCU sucks.   Soft kids that don't really want it.  But have entitled parents that think it gives them an edge.[/quote]

If the successful people and their kids of financial and social privileges didn't bother you, you wouldn't mention it dozens of times on this one thread alone.
Doesn't take a trained psychologist.

The Pulisics and Sullivans and Weahs and Reynas and Aaronsons etc etc etc are from upper socioeconomic families.

So try a new theory drum to beat[/quote]

But Gio Reyna IS soft.  so soft.[/quote]

Exactly.  He is THE example of the system.  Dad brokered all his opportunities.  So many kids were better than him at youth ages but he had the silver spoon.  [/quote]

I can't believe someone tried to use Reyna as a good example :)

His mom and dad brought up stuff that happened 20 years prior with the national team coach to get him fired because their son isn't good enough to get playing minutes. At Dortmund he was on the bench, he went to Forest... BENCH!! Back to Dortmund with new coach... BENCH now he went to Monchengladbach and guess what... BENCH!!

Funny enough he played in the last 2 USA friendlies, I wonder if mommy and daddy had anything to do with that. So you mean to tell me that doesn't happen with younger kids when it happens in the national team. OK[/quote]

Someone listed Reyna as an example to show kids of privilege exists everywhere, not just the DMV, as was being alleged

Reading with comprehension is fundamental [/quote]

NO.  What was alleged was the soccer system is rigged for the rich people because the sport costs a lot of money in this country to be successful. Of course kids of privilege are in the system THAT IS THE POINT.  Those kids outweigh kids without means. Gio Reyna is a prime example of the system at work. The wrong way.   Privileged family, with money, kid given every advantage when others were better, parents influence his trajectory, rise through the ranks is abnormal because of influence etc etc...  But you're so smart, I guess you missed that...[/quote]
