[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet, no one has lied about Barca to put them down. Former member opinions have been targeted as lies. But some of the pro-Barca posts have been found to be factually warped, for example how the business is set up and many other details about the program. [/quote]

I am a parent at Barca.  A lot of negative stuff that was posted is total nonsense and the parents with kids in the program know that it is not true.    [/quote]

Another Barca parent here and I saw many legitimate criticisms that were treated as lies and nonsense.  I wish some of us here wouldn't be so defensive, it makes us look a little unhinged as a group.[/quote]

I don't think people react negatively to legitimate criticisms, but rather to assertions like politics is rampant and parents are hovering over coaches or calling Barca parents obnoxious.  Barca is not perfect, but the flaws are rather minor.  I am happy that my kids don't have to deal with politics, have to earn every minute of playing time on the field and have high quality coaches who pay attention to details.   [/quote]

I don't think anyone said politics were rampant or that all the parents were obnoxious.  Late last season I observed a few parents getting chummy with a few of the coaches and saw at least one couple in a very involved conversation with a top organization official, exchanging phone numbers.  That's not "rampant" politics, but it's not quite the "Chinese" wall someone tried to advertise in this thread, either.  Personally, I'm not offended by that behavior and expect it, especially in the DC area.  I think any grown adult realizes you can't take "politics" out of any environment in life.  I think we need to stop pretending it doesn't exist.  [/quote]
