I don't think that discussing pros and cons is unfair or out of bounds. Her parents have made her a public figure and their very public decision is fair game for discussion, praise, criticism, dissection, etc. To you their decision provides info regarding pro soccer as a pathway for women pros. Fair enough and but, for me, this provides more information about whether or not one 13yo prodigy (of which there are others) is able to capitalize (I don't mean that in a critical way at all) for a very risky decision. Because you and I have different takes - some might say we disagree - does not mean that your point is not reasonable nor does it mean that mine is not. I realize that I often don't internet correctly b/c I don't think views that differ from mine are signs of character flaws as I don't think disagreement, reasonably expressed, is a bad thing.
I do wish her well but her decision provides little info for me - I'd prefer to look at the young women in college right now as they weigh pro prospects and "real world" jobs after they graduate. That is a far more likely path for the vast, vast majority of the elite players and the possible path for one of my three daughters. The players making significant money are not the ones who are simply elite - they are the elite of the elite and marketable in other ways. How does a 13yo help with that? Unless the $$$ increases significantly throughout women's soccer, she will remain an outlier (and I just hope it does not end badly with Nike or her agent or her folks exploiting this particular time when she's a unique "earner" - as
