BMWs are beautiful but break down all the time and cost a fortune, while Honda’s and Hyundai’s work really well, are reasonably priced, and last forever.  And some don’t look too bad either.  Sounds about right. [/quote]

Well there you go. Enjoy your Hyundai before it gets recalled. BTW, your your resale value is awful [/quote]

LMAO!  You have obviously never owned a BMW.  Talk about losing resale value and recalls!!  :lol:

Your analogies suck as much as your local teams do![/quote]

Love the stories from people with BMW's, Range Rovers, etc.  These vehicles look nice, but take them in for some simple service item and leave a few thousand dollars or more lighter in the wallet every time.  The poster seems to have a total focus on the hype of the brand (ECNL badge) and appears to be disconnected from reality.    [/quote]

It actually is a great analogy when you think about it.  $7k for six months of soccer in ECNL vs ten months for GDA/GA.  More breakdowns and recalls due to very compressed schedule with widespread HS play in ECNL vs sensible schedule for GDA/GA.

You are right though, it does speak to mentality.  This is the mentality of a marketer, trying to tie his brand to another well known brand.   It’s all about the badge, which in the end means nothing in terms of quality.

I think the young parents referenced should have some idea of where value is when they make their decisions vs buying a badge and brand blindly.

What on Earth will all those young, excited Loudoun parents do when their club goes kaput this fall?[/quote]

They are all Yugos and you are dumb enough to think of them as luxury items. Players and teams, not clubs and leagues, are good or not.  The amount you need to think in these terms is inversely proportional to the amount of talent your kid probably has and the amount of soccer acumen her parents passed on. [/quote]
