[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this were a city like paris, the hotbed of talent would be the eastern half of DC. High population density and kids aspiring towards the dream of becoming a superstar and escaping their circumstances. The best players would come from there hands down. But our system is screwed up and it doesn't work like that.[/quote]

Except for the fact the kids in Paris like soccer and kids in SE, DC do not. They like basketball and football.

Also, the likelihood of the kids making it out through sports is slim to none in Paris. Here l, we have a college network that assist in this manner.

And let’s be real, a college educated adult makes more that these MLS players.

Take a hard look at the other side of the coin. For every kid that makes it to the pros. 5 million didn’t. [/quote]

Frankly, if a parent had a son with incredible athletic abilities and he is able to make it to a D1 school for basketball, football or soccer, most people won't choose soccer.

The player's salary for the NWST is even worse.  A college graduate will get paid a lot more than the typical NWSL player.

Also, only a small percentage of parents think that their DD will make D1 soccer or even get a scholarship.  The majority of parents are using soccer to pad their DD's college application.

Soccer doesn’t pad a college application anymore than any other extracurricular. If parents are thinking this, they should do more research. Playing higher level soccer only helps for colleges if you are plan in on playing/ being recruited by your target college.[/quote]
