[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]saw DC put some 2012s on there protected list. [/quote]

Any kids who did NOT play on the 2012 team with them get placed on their protected list?[/quote]

assume you mean futures but don't know who all was even on that. never was posted anywhere was it[/quote]

Yes, I mean futures.

There is very little investment in the futures so I would not think they would be tagged on a protected list.

The parents paid for the development up to the point and should have the freedom of movement.[/quote]

Majority of futures were kids who were offered spots before the team was canceled.

There was no fee for futures. [/quote]

Pardon me while I learn this landscape.

“Philadelphia Union, like FC Cincinnati, do not currently have any players on their +5 list. They consistently secure the top players they prioritize within their territory.”

Based on this language, why were these 2012’s put on this list if they signed with DCU?

It looks like only St Louis and Seattle have as many or greater portion of their list as 2012s.  Seattle, like DCU, does not start until U15.  If the 2012’s never had a real team and the parents have been funding the kids development up through U14, I don’t really understand the ethics of DCU or any academy making a claim on a kid you minimally invested in.  Am I missing something?[/quote]

i think what you're missing is that the plus 5 list is intended for boys not in academy yet.  there is a separate list for kids in acadmy. so everyone on 5 list isn't developmed by the team that puts them on list. it isn't a dc isn't ethical thing, it;s a mls isn't since this is mls rule not dc[/quote]

He doesn't care about it being a MLS thing

He is obsessed with smearing DCU at any and every chance. So even though multiple academies on the link have 2012’s on their lists, the toxic person tried to make it a DCU thing [/quote]

Relax.  DCU doesn't need smearing by others.  It does just fine smearing itself on its own.  It is widely known that it is one of the worst, if not the worst academies in the MLS system and even US Soccer will tell you them same.

And yes, this is a MLS wide issue.  The +5 is for kids outside of the MLS academy and yes it is absolutely ridiculous that any club can claim rights to a player that isn't in their academy and they haven't even developed or had a part in developing in any way.  It's absolutely absurd.  But the MLS can do what it wants because no one challenges them.  This is, on its face is illegal, but no one pays attention because it's soccer and no one really cares in this country.  Try something like this in American football or basketball an watch people lose their minds.  [/quote]
