You’re a world class tool.Why would someone make up a document with factual information? To try and trick people into knowing truthful information?

They did it before with both a fake "So Cal" announcement then a fake GA document. This looks a lot like both of them.

Just because crazy person happened to be correct on a 50/50 decision doesnt mean the docs were any less fake.

We are at a GA/mlsn and have had no official communication regarding the age change from the club for either boys or girls. Many parents around us still have no idea this is happening even for the girls side which has already been decided.

MLS2 has HS soccer break, so MLS2 should be SY. And if MLS2 club is going to be promoted to MLS1, then MLS2 and MLS1 has to be on the same page. MLS Academy can stay in BY and they already play up this season.

I think the decision is already been made. They just need proper wording.

Many rosters of MLS Next and academies are overwhelming full of kids born in Q1/Q2 because of their earlier physical development. So now this shifts the balance to an advantage for kids born August to December.

I think there's plenty of questions/opinions to why they probably want to explain whatever they're doing and why.
