There's some delicious irony in FIFA demanding an end to pay-to-play. Isn't it among the most corrupt organizations in the world?

Exactly. Pay 2 play is going anywhere and most people don’t mind paying including myself. At the end of the day are you getting bang for your buck? Answer is a big fat “no” for most families.

I just hope there are American dudes overseas pulling the same scam on unsuspecting Europeans.

1000% agree.

The pathway to playing soccer professionally for girls is just stupid.

For boys there's MLSN which is kind of ok. But still stupid but in different ways.

What does this even mean?


We have pay to play systems as we have a thriving capitalist based economy which benefits entities that can make buck on anything, like how we pay $2,000 for travel soccer that should cost $200 max in a rec league.

Why should all rec leagues just funnel into travel programs?

I read this -- quite silly. There is no chance of that happening in the US. None. The shop owner gave jerseys and the lawyer gave shoes --- never in a million years would they get the vast amount of supplies and money needed in the US to do this. I sometimes think Euros do not understand the size of the US.

Lol. The moment he pointed to hockey as an example of not "pay to play" he lost all credibility.

Not gonna happen. Too successful. Especially in high inflation era - too good a side gig.
