Arlington hires some shadyy people.

They should really take a look at their new coach JR.

I just learned of this story. He was not my kid's ADP coach, but occasionally we gathered some ADP kids from multiple teams during the off-season to scrimmage, and he sometimes joined us, along with a few of players from his team. He behaved quite professionally. Sometimes we scrimmaged with coaches and kids on the field at the same time, and I saw not event a hint of strange behavior. He seemed like a good guy -- intelligent, well-spoken, mild-mannered, enthusiastic about soccer, and a good teacher of soccer skills.

Is there any further news about this story? Did this case go to trial?

Don’t come to this forum for intelligence

From ASA:

We are deeply disturbed by the news regarding Ernesto Mercado, who was a volunteer with Arlington Soccer Association. Mr. Mercado was a volunteer from March 2019 to June 2024, and during his time with us, we were not aware of any allegations or concerns regarding his conduct. Arlington Soccer Association conducts thorough background checks on all of our volunteers, and we remain committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of all participants in our programs.

I would not believe everything you see on the news. They oftentimes don't fact-check. While this may be true, you cannot assume that they are correct. The news recently had a woman saying dozens of kids were killed at a location in DMV, and that's simply not true. Also, there was another person accused of something terrible
with kids a few years ago and as things came out the parents lied. The media doesn't do its job anymore. They just put out the headlines.

When you wonder how people enable abusers, just think of this person. I'm assuming you are voting for the orange guy too.

lol NC is devastated but you probably are happy laundering money to UKR and other shytholes before your fellow citizens.

FEMA budget and spending are controlled by the GOP lead House.

This makes sense, but don't waste your time. These people started as morons and are now morons in a toxic cult.

A local softball coach was charged earlier this year with a sexual assault issue with someone underage….the girls absolutely had a “bad vibe” with him and several girls had dropped his team or avoided trying out.

And the Arlington swim Dad

Can you link ? Now I need to know …

Thank you! This is horrible and so terrifying.

For the record I did search myself but without the background “Arlington swim dad” didn’t get me much
