Boys is more profitable because a club can field two girls teams but six boys teams in an age group.

This is not going to happen. It can't. They would lose almost all of their girls.
its a half joke because folks thought it was going to get announced next season. It will just in 2 yrs instead of one. Arlington is bleeding boy players right now to MLSN and Academy. And no when there are no ECNL options it will have no impacts on girls side.


What a weird take - girls pay the same amount as boys, so if Arlington keeps ECNL and can field two ECNL teams, then you get even more girls ... who pay the same as boys.

So either it's all about the money, in which case Arlington to will do just fine because there are more girls wanting to play ECNL, or it's not about the money ad you just think boys are somehow more important than girls.

Arlington is not getting 2 ECNL teams.

Nobody thinks this just look at the cost balance sheet at any socccer club in any state across the nation. Boys are more profitable so yes unfortunately boys are somehow more important than girls in the pay to play soccer landscape. Wake the F up! Arlington will sell out girls ECNL to acquire Boys MSLN and thus GA. Deal with it while waking the F up! Not mad just irritated at the stupidity that never ends.


The primary motivator for all of these clubs is their balance sheet?


No, its Development (with a straight face)


I think a lot of these coaches directors do care about the players and development. Not all of them are driven by money.


Agree it's such a lazy argument. The random soccer coach getting XX,K/year per team isn't getting rich. Sure maybe the club or admins are, but the actual coaches doing the work day to day actually do care (or at least most of them do)

Profot margins? Pick a busines term that makes you happy. It irrelevant to the point that boys make more money then girls. So business models favor what's best for boys. Becuase its a business, sinking in yet?


You’re assuming the primary motivation for every club is profit. It’s not for every club. These directors are paid a salary.

The money is with the Boys, from the National teams on down. The USWNT has won World Cups, Gold medals, etc and were still fighting for equal pay with a group that hasn't won anything. Even look at ECNL, you hear ECNL and immediately think of a Girls league, but ECNL has like 30 more Boys clubs than it has Girls. Boys Soccer is truly where the money is.


ARL = MLS NXT = GA
