[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why trash DC United? The level of soccer on the pro player pathway is incredibly high? Every MLS team is strong. These athletes are playing against great competition and working hard. Let them be.[/quote]

The level on the pro player pathway is actually NOT high.  Some exceptions here and there (Union, Red Bulls, Real Salt Lake) but generally speaking the level is way below most other developed football nations. The competition in the US is actually not strong generally.  To say otherwise is ignorant.  All athletes on a pro pathway play hard.  No kudos for that.  If you don't play hard at that level, why play?

DCU doesn't deserve to be held in high regard because it doesn't care about the talent in our area that does want to be better and do more with the sport.  Because of that, it is actually hurting our talent and given how much of a gatekeeping role it plays to higher levels of the sport in our area and country, that is just blatant disregard and negligence on their part.  For all of that, they deserve every bit of criticism that can be given to them.[/quote]
