[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something else people don't know about NWSL is that they pay for your housing car and food with per diems while playing.

What this means is even if you're lowest paid you're still getting by comfortably. [/quote]

Yeah, it sounds amazing.  :roll: [/quote]
You seem like the type that would send back soup because it's too hot. Whatever..

Look at all the Minor league baseball players or hockey players just begging for an opportunity to play on a MLB or NHL team.

NWSL league minimum isn't great but it's also not meant to be a career. If players are good ideally they'll be given a chance to move up on the roster. If not they get dropped and replaced with someone else. It's how all professional sports teams work.[/quote]

If it isn’t meant to be a career then why is SYC dad pushing the wonders that a NWSL/GA pathway to pro would offer?

A $10,000 - $15,000 athletic scholarship for a degree is being foolish to take when you can live in someone’s spare room for $35k a year?[/quote]
No idea what you're talking about.

Sounds like you're trying to disparage playing pro vs college.

You might want to keep an eye on what's going on with all the NCAA lawsuits. It's gotten so bad that NCAA is begging congress for an exemption so that can keep paying their slaves with scholarships instead of real money.[/quote]
NCAA and Colleges have only themselves to blame. If they would have given all the players full rides nobody would be complaining. The problem is they cheaped out and would only give a small amount of full ride scholarships per team. This diminished the value of their product. Young players are looking at college and thinking if I take this partial scholarship I'm going to have to work my ass off for a sport and to take classes and at the end of 4 years I'll be in debt.

It doesn't make sense.

But at least parents get to send out that Instagram Pic of their kid committing to a college.[/quote]
