[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the correct path is...just suck it up and do your best to stomach MLS by going to games and watching it on TV because it will help US soccer.  The path should be, MLS needs to provide a better product to get us "snobs" to watch.  We took my U9 team to a DCU match a few years ago.  During our season leading up to the game, we preached taking care of the ball.  The opening kick off went back to one of the backs and he blasted it as far as he could to the other team.  Every kid and parent looked at me.  I was at a loss for words. Never went back.  My 10 year old son laughs at MLS games on TV more than anything.  I would love him to get passionate about DCU, but how can you? It's awful.[/quote]

How about you let your kid come to his own conclusions and support what he is passionate about. If you talk to him about MLS the way you do here you just splashed cold water on him. Good job! Let him figure out if it is awful. Do you make him watch Masterpiece Theater because Spongebob sucks too? I bet you're real fun at parties too.  [/quote]

I am not this poster. I am the other MLS-blaster.  MY KIDS are the ones that said 'this sucks' at the DC United games.  I was busy drinking with the other parents...already knowing I wasn't going to see great soccer on display so I might as well have some fun.  That was not me talking.  I said nothing about MLS prior.  We had season tickets to the Washington Diplomats as a kid, btw.

Give kids more credit.  The soccer enthusiasts raised on it can spot poor play at a very young age.[/quote]
