[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents with the means giving their kids all the advantages possible? What is surprising about that? It happens in every aspect of life not just club soccer. It happens in every country in the world not just US. If you were in a position to do it you would too.[/quote]

The advantage is getting your kid through the door.
They have the responsibility to then perform and earn the right to stay.[/quote]
Spoken like someone with advantages. The kid who earned the right after getting through the door only had to compete against the subset of other kids who got through the door with their advantage. It’s how the world works and isn’t likely to change but it should still be recognized for what it is.[/quote]

Your argument is predicated on the kid with the advantage not being highly qualified and competent. [/quote]
No, my argument is we'll never know how highly qualified and competent they really are because they are only being compared against the subset of the other advantaged ones.[/quote]

I thought their performances in practice and games showed their levels of qualifications regardless of how they got through the door?[/quote]
The point is there are many who never even get the chance to show their level of qualifications in games and practices, because they didn't have the advantages to get them to the door in the first place. Do you really think ECNL is open to just everyone?[/quote]
