All these parents thinking that their kid isn’t benefiting from the current dilution will be pretty surprised when they end up back in NCSL on the outside looking in.

Good one. Is that the best you've got?
When ECNL swallows up GDA teams they do it whole. They won't be dissolving anything. There is no need.

So ECNL just wants to be 200 clubs? LOL

You haven’t been around long, have you? You seem a little green behind the ears

USSF stole what ECNL built. You do know that, right?
USSF tried to bully the youth market for their own benifit. You do know that, right?
The clubs you are attempting to bad mouth built ECNL. You do know that, right?
The clubs that jumped from ECNL to DA got nothing in return except a bigger bill. You do know that right?
The clubs are under no moral or ethical obligation to uplift women’s soccer in this country. You know that, right?
USSF created the dilution you despise. You know that, right?
USSF ripped teams apart. You know that, right?

USSF has the money to fully fund NWSL academies for the top 5 percent of girls in the nation. You know that, right?
USSF will not fully fund those academies because they want the clubs to pay the cost. You know that, right?
USSF care more about funding the men’s game vs the women’s. You know that, right?

Your anger should be directed at USSF not the clubs. Time to get off your soap box and join the real world.

Money doesn’t grow on trees.

ECNL isn’t any cheaper for players than DA. Clubs like PDA and Real CO get two teams and get to charge ECNL prices for a B team.

USSF is the source of women’s soccer ills or have you not been paying attention.

ECNL already existed as the top national league for girls. (Despite a complete and utter lack of USSF support) A rival league wasn’t needed. What’s needed is a fully funded academy system attached to NWSL clubs for the top 5 percent.

Story over.

Those 40 clubs where ECNL clubs and the majority of them will be again very soon. Well wait for your savior, USSF, to step up and shell out some money. Until then, pay up. Chances are, our daughter aren’t the 5 percent.

Again...so we are clear

USSF benefits from the clubs. The clubs don’t benifit from USSF.

It's pretty clear that DA isn't all about the money, given that clubs are so willing to take the ECNL $$ bait and run when they aren't making the bottom line work out.

This is working against our best interest in terms of soccer quality in the US, but it's great for lining the pockets of the clubs involved. Enjoy your well funded dilution.
