Curious how this will affect female college athletes? How would you feel if your daughter missed her opportunity to play college soccer because of this new change?View attachment 9985
When I saw your post - before reading the discussion - I was going to answer with sincerity of what I thought and, because I've had this discussion with my daughters (though not today), what they thought. But it's clear that it's going to turn into a political back and forth and not really about soccer. That's OK but @Dominic should be aware that the more threads like this, the more the entire board is going to be dominated by these discussions and the more you will lose people who are just tired of them (which may be no big deal). I get it that people are frustrated and anxious w/o youth or college soccer (no discussions about how my kid's team is the only one that plays possession and the others just play kickball) but it seems that every soccer thread goes off the rails. This one is obviously loaded with a lot of emotion but it could be a really good topic w/o spinning out of control.
So, @Lavey29, if you really wanted answers to your question and a reasonable discussion of the issues, I'm sorry you didn't get that. On the other hand, if you were looking to throw something provocative out there so that it could get heated with predictable commenters on predictable sides, I guess you did get that.
