You do realize the only difference is the experts create the visualization. They both search for the narrative with the best fit or the one they want to share. It's the underlying mechanics of the visualization that should be scrutinized if you are going to doubt it. Sadly, data driven deception is choking the shit out of critical thinking bc it's a quick fix of affirmation. It happens all of the time. There are also varying shades of DDD ranging from the truth but exaggerated or downplayed, to straight up fraud and deception.

So to be fair. Criticize the data not the messenger. I'm sure each of you here has skimped on the due diligence to see if the data aligns with the narrative before sharing on this forum with a mic drop. I can tell you firsthand there are many more data points the State and Feds are not willing to share with simple drive by charts .

the going theory is that he's a doppleganger troll for someone who regularly hangs out here. The person clearly has some soccer knowledge but has not stated any obvious connection through either a child or personal level of plays so it's either: a. someone very frustrated with the soccer community, perhaps because of career frustrations, or b. someone who is mentally off and needs to create a troll account to lash out at people. My money is a combination of a & b. The abbreviation in the name is also telling.

I just wow everything it says hoping its the shot in the arm it needs.

How does it feel to be the idiot of the forum who nobody likes? You find pleasure in that dont you? your claim of millions in california dying is way off. you disregard the fact that cuomo and newsom as well as many other democrat governors put covid patients in nursing homes that killed large portions of the elderly who are the most at risk. when did i claim 14? when did i whine? maybe having to read your ignorant posts. my kids are thriving. plenty of scrimmages and tournaments that we went to. They are improving daily. On track to skip a grade of math. Something you seem to have problems with as far as statistics. This virus is low risk to my kids and young parents like me. you can hide under a rock if you'd like. I'll be doing what I want, guilt free. Just wear your mask EOTL, you'll be fine. lol.

My kid is enrolling at OCC baby for extra online college credit. She is a better online student. No chatter box in class and trying to be social. My son is doing 4.0 at State with biz major and is making $500 a week delivering stuff to people in South OC. My wife and are thinking of doing the same thing next year. $25 an hour he averages with tip. Not bad. Uber too so just drive around as everyone is at home. My buddy from grade school now sells THC and CBD and is almost done with being able to legally deliver good budd to clients with loads of dough that need pain relief. I might do only high end deliveries for him. Not sure but legal now so no one should judge me? I really want to work but only big corp is open and all my restaurant marketing biz is not going to happen. With guys like dad 4, no way I can work. I need a hand out like yesterday. Cant drive out of state for soccer game, can;t work, cant go see grand parents this Christmas and so on. Beach walks only. Keep on the low and hope someone feeds me. Watfy, I can hustle bro and knock doors for your business. You got anything going big guy in Sales? I pound doors for a living. I will say I never did outside sales with a mask on so that would be interesting. I never take no for an answer and I'm super quick on my feet. Life of the party and one owner once said of me, "Your like a country club manager." All my sales reps loved me and I fought for them and walked the streets with them. Guys like EOTL would stay in the office and yell at these single moms for not being in the office at 8am, everyday. Owners and higher ups always trying to lower the commission and pay less. Not good for top producers, MOO!!! These types was putting me down all the time. One SOB ran his office like a jerk. He and this other guy ((EOTL type manager)) had an office that had a 120% turnover. The sales woman with kids were treated so horrible. I came on the scene and treated the females extra special. I'm serious. Hardest working sales woman i ever had were single moms who had to provide or wives who had husbands like me that couldnt find a job and had to make all the dough. I told them all, "score board ladies. Bring in the sales and I'll drive to your house to get paper work." We were #1 and I made $50,000 extra for treating others as you would want to be treated.
 
But what about the fate of Surf Cup? I thought....well, I thought that's what we were talking about. Now we are talking about the inadequacies of our local governments and the ability to cherry pick information to satisfy personal needs.

I just want to know if people still think they are playing Surf Cup. And if they are, how do they know that. It's apparent to many that this will not be a "best of the best" event. Maybe so in the Summer, but not in the Winter of 2020 and 2021.

I guess the consensus is that soccer will be played, by enough teams and not streamed but recorded. D1 coaches will not be in attendance. The chances of a D2/D3 coach attending are probably not very high. Will CA D2/D3 schools go against the directives, mandates, orders, whatever they are calling them?

There is an exact 50 camp in Mesa, AZ on 20 DEC, with some coaches scheduled to attend.

This are my favorite retort for a couple reasons. First, I have very obviously gotten under someone’s skin. Second, I know my plan working when people go with full Karl Rove. Specifically, the Karl Rove technique is to accuse others of your own weaknesses, which tends to confuse the weak-minded and help eliminate the importance of actual facts. Because figuring out the truth sometimes takes effort, and that is exactly what a dumb soccer parent does lacks. Before you know it, the same weak-minded fools are thinking maybe it makes a lot of sense suggesting that “people are saying” fewer people have died in the US in the year of the greatest pandemic in our lifetimes. Maybe people are really dying of heartburn in catastrophic numbers? Maybe the governor of NY is handling covid worse than the governors of the Dakotas, although the dakotas will soon have a higher mortality rate, and it’s almost impossible to get that many people together in those states to kill them in such numbers, unless the governors of those states are encouraging people to do things that spread the disease.

Does Karl Rove have a kid playing in Surf Cup? It's probably something he could get behind.

They covered it pages ago before we all went off topic.

Surf is on, but much smaller. Many top clubs are not attending. Surf and some Blues teams are going, but no other clubs were named as definitely attending. This leaves open slots to be filled by weaker teams.

The new guidance might or might not change things for the clubs/teams who are still in.

No way that happens if the California standards remain in place. They'll be low levels of transmission still for the foreseeable future unless they do a massive and very sweeping vaccine mandate (remember they aren't even planning to catch kids 0-12 until late summer/early fall, and if they try and do a mandate we have other problems). A return to normalcy only happens if people demand a return to normal after the vaccine is widely deployed and force the government's hand. Otherwise, if these standards remain in place, tournaments likely aren't happening this summer, league play will be restricted in the fall, and Disneyland is probably at restricted capacity and with mask mandates. Remember, in California, there is no green tier.

Nah, I think it'll be open come the summer. We'll see.

You mean to show how arbitrary and unsubstantiated some of these guidelines are and how poorly they are thought through? Yah good point. Still sainting on that data to show outdoor youth sports art the spreader events )go ahead and look towards the other 49 states that allowed it...they should have some data available.

Also, talk to the over 50 Million people in the US lining up for Food lines because they can’t afford food after being put out of work.

They’re just in line for heartburn medication.

If @MSK357 can say everyone is dying of heartburn or anything else besides Covid-19, why can’t my truth be that no one is unemployed, they’re just in line for something else. Truthiness forever! Who needs facts?

Obviously not the people making policies!

Don’t confuse the “died with” versus “died of” distinction. Try not to splash around and muddy the water whilst throwing your tantrums when your wrong. It’s very childish.

As for the Food Lines, watched the story on CNN this morning. WHO estimates over 150 million worldwide will be adversely affected by hunger directly related to Covid policies. If 1% of those affected dieting would be triple the number that have Died With Covid. How many people have to die because of inept policy making? How many are you ok with killing?

It seem odd that a club as high profile as Surf would publicly violate the guidance by sending their teams. I wouldn't be shocked to see CDPH make and example out of them, as they are just flat out saying they won't adhere to the guidance if they send any of their CA based teams. Likewise it would be very bad PR for any big clubs to send teams.

Yes, I get it. You and your buddies think heartburn and other ailments are killing everyone, although there are more than 300,000 excess deaths so far this year compared to the estimated upper bound (aka worst case scenario). Rationalize however you like, but more than 300,000 people have died so far because of Covid-19, and you and your friends are ready to kill as many more as it takes so your kiddie can lace ‘em up right now.

It is nice to hear that you are finally concerned about world hunger. You got a really, really late start on that, but better late than never.
 
EOTL said:
Why has all of this happened? Because too many people refused to look past even their own short term interests. Remember when @MSK357 and his friends were calling this a hoax and were upset about social distancing because they claimed only 14, then 120, then only 1000 than no way it get above 12000? And when @Grace T. was encouraging unnecessary interstate travel and even gloating about it, and was ripping in masks until last week? And @Desert Hound complaining about not being able to go to bars and encouraging everyone to travel to AZ for kiddie soccer? Even now these people are blaming those who took it seriously and did their best to limit spread for causing people to commit suicide 10 months into a pandemic that they caused to spin out of control.

Don’t blame me for where we are.

Because virtually every state in the country has much higher infection and mortality rates than CA. Because all the contacts you will have at the airport and all the other places you go significantly increases the risk that you will bring it to CA. Because taking steps to discourage mass travel significantly reduces the number of interactions people have which, in turn, substantially slows down the rate of transmission. Because if you can’t travel, the 1000 people you would have had some close contact with at the airport and during your visit, and the 1000 they had, and the 1000 they had, is now zero. You only have your trip to the grocery store and the five people you ran into there that you can potentially kill.

Oh God it’s you again… Preaching. What are you goinf talk about when this thing goes away.

Don't lie to little girls!!!!!

@EOTL I have Q for you. Why are you so mean to kids and their parents? Why you here? Honestly, no kids that play the game but here 24/7? Where is Espola when you need him? You made fun of my dd and have said on numerous times how she is no good now. Just so you know, she is on here. 100% true bro. She can write very well so get ready for her. I want you two to have an open discussion as well. She's a big girl and can handle her own. I know she is appalled at the things you say. I must admit, I too have said things that she's appalled by so were both typical males. You have given her great motivation sir and some others on here as well. Plus, you blame me for taking all the top 04' Blues players to Surf so I could win the Natty, which was a big fat lie and hurt my reputation. I can also go back and read all your BS!!!! My goat is motivated like non other. Running hills at 9am. She wont forget it, like ever the things you said about her. She is getting ready to showcase and prove you wrong brother. Telling her she's all washed up and a "has been" and not the player she was when she was 11, 12 and 13 is so sic. Shame on you mean little man. Plus, mean man EOTL is also mean to our sweet Gracie. Love you Grace :) You can say sorry right now to her and my dd. Karma???? We both have forgiven you. Please, do the right thing and treat all the young girls right and all woman. Parents were sold BS and were lied to so many times and you just laugh at us Coach _______________________________________.

i’ve asked that before… About EOTL. I don’t even think he has kids that play soccer… He just likes to come on here and call everyone murderers and selfish bastards. He’s part of the “woke” culture Where everyone is a racist selfish prick if you don’t agree with him. Stating that everything should be perpetually shut down while I’m sure he’s sitting on his ass at home collecting a paycheck. I just him ignore him for the most part. .

Surf has really painted itself into a corner. They probably should have canceled last week with the stay at home order as an excuse.

On this, we can agree. You might also change "week" into "August", but hey.

We're 12 days out from Surf Youngers and no schedule posted. There are definitely tournaments that hold off until the last minute, but Surf are running out of time for coach conflicts, parent scheduling ("do we make the drive early Sunday or late Saturday night"), etc. I'd be getting nervous for my $1400 right about now.

In “excess” of what? How does 2020 stack up agains YTD 2019?

I don’t have a “kiddie” both mine are Olders but at least I have 2 that play. Still waiting on that data to support youth outdoor sports are any more of a “spreader event” than going to the grocery store.....really burning you up isn’t it.

I’m not the one rationalizing......
