2020 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!! EXTENDED TO SPRING '21!!!!

If your best days are behind you, there’s always living vicariously through your child. Oh wait, you already know that.
My dd is Eagle dude and flies solo. She's out flying right now and will get her chance to do what she pleases in life. Your perceptions are so wrong. People who were all about the money told her college or no more soccer. That was wrong and will be dealt with accordingly. Times are going to change and it will be for the better. Maybe Pro soccer in Europe in 2022?
After the UNC and ND clusterf**ks, they should postpone and bolster the chances of a real season in spring. The current six game season plan is pointless anyway and a waste of eligibility. The ACC (and SEC and Big 12) is only moving forward with soccer because canceling everything but football is bad gender equity optics. It’s unfair to only kill football players and their coaching staff, right? They are screwing over the female athletes by giving them a little somethin’ somethin’ in the name of equality, when the reality is they’re giving them something worse than nothing in order to salvage football.
The irony is that if there was ever a college demographic that is most likely to do what they should to reduce the risk of transmission, it’s probably women’s soccer players. The least likely, of course, are frat bros followed closely by football players.
Did you just deny that you’re living vicariously through your child and discuss how she’s going to go straight pro after high school IN THE SAME POST?
And for the record, I have only been wrong once here ever, which is what would happen in the WNT lawsuit. But I am confident the 9th Circuit will eventually restore my record to 100%.
Why do you think this is about me and not the mistreatment of female soccer players over the years? Europe is handing the virus better and I hear their paying top goats some good money to play. Are you doubting the ability of my dd to go play pro over seas? I hear for a reason and so are you.

This.
Sorry for your loss of your friends.
Your have your head in the sand if you think entities don't have an agenda's and yes Johns Hopkins, The CDC, Fox, CNN etc.. all have agendas. And I'm sure nobody would ever work the system and say a death was caused by Covid just to get money from the Government. So you go ahead and listen to whatever sources that you listen to, don't question anything that your being fed and be like every other little lamb.

I agree with you 100% that women's soccer players are for the most part very responsible but as the Orlando Pride found out one 21 year old going to a bar ended their challenge cup. I am actually surprised at how well the NBA has managed if but in their case you are only talking about isolating 300 players plus the staff and coaches and they lose pay if they leave the bubble or have to miss a game do to exposure. Individual schools don't have NBA money to throw around...
Good luck to you and your player through this hard time.
I'm sorry about your father in laws friend and i didn't mean for me to come off like it's not a big deal. I to know people that have had to say goodbye on facetime and also know people that had to go into hospitals for other situations not Covid related and their families and friends could not be there to support them. They expressed how helpless they felt and although i haven't been in that situation yet, i can at least understand how difficult that must have been.. All that i'm trying to say is that in America we should be able to make our own choices with the best available information ( i use that term loosely) to make our decisions. Not have something forced upon us. The reason i brought up those other causes of death is that many of those causes can be prevented by people making better personal choices, by not being obese or smoking. In this country they have the freedom to make those poor choices. One of the people that i know that passed did not take precautions even though he was at risk. He paid the ultimate price for that, but that was his choice. I wear my mask ever time I'm in public to protect other people from me just in case. Simple things like wearing a mask should be mandated and fined like our seatbelt laws if not followed but don't change our way of life and take our freedoms away because of a horrible virus.
Is my daughter bummed sure and so are we. She would have chosen to play given the opportunity but now that it has been taken away for more than half of schools, lets try to get all them on the same page and get something going in the spring when hopefully we will have anti virals that work at a minimum and possibly vaccines.
I say this all the time to whoever will listen, the answers to most of our problems in this country are more towards the middle, not towards the far left and far right.
Was the Holocaust a hoax too?
How can you even consider drawing that parallel?

I am glad that you are doing your part. I am sure that you have noticed that not everyone is doing there part. I would also remind you and anyone reading this that many things that are considered normal were once though of as radical ideas. Women voting was a radical idea. Freeing the slave was a radical idea (I am 3/5 of a person in the US Constitution). Some times ideas that are different are considered radical.
Continued good fortune to you and you family.

Congrats on the daughter in college. Mine hopes to move into the dorm in San Diego sometime in the next month or two.
Agree with you but College students are just the tip of the iceberg.
It is pretty much every person between the ages 15-30. Male and female. All races, all income levels. Walking and driving around Riverside and Orange County I see way to many people still not wearing a mask, or having it not cover their nose. Playing pickup basketball, in a 7-11 hanging with workmates, shopping for clothes, talking in large groups. Add alcohol and it becomes 10x as bad. I'm not sure what the solution is. It is getting better than before. Maybe it will take a year to make it second nature for everyone.
We had one lady come down with it here at work. She carpooled with 3 other ladies from work, plus worked closely at times with others. All wore masks. No one else tested positive. She thinks she got it from a cousin.
Argue with an idiot and its hard to tell who the idiot is. For that reason I put you on my ignore list as i don't have time for thoughtless idiots like your self that just like to hear themselves and probably look at themselves
It is the exact same principle. Deny overwhelming evidence of something based on nothing more than a baseless assertion that those claiming its existence have an agenda. See, e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/...rus-tell-us-about-conspiracy-theories/610894/
Also, anti-semitism and Covid-19 conspiracy theories are not exactly mutually exclusive.

Whether you’ve ignored overwhelming evidence to deny the Holocaust, that 180k have died of Covid, that man has walked on the moon, that vaccines don’t cause autism, that the Clintons didn’t run a child trafficking ring out of a pizza parlor, or any combination of the above, you’re still a nut job conspiracy theorist.
Claiming the CDC and Johns Hopkins are lying about Covid deaths because they have an unspecified conspiracy theory “agenda” is not exactly thoughtful. This is probably an appropriate time to point out that Alex Jones recently used a bullhorn to accuse teenagers of overstating Covid-19 deaths so they could take over the parks and charge entrance fees. And we know how that little chubber feels about the Holocaust. And Sandy Hook. And Pizzagate. Also google “Alex Jones” and “yogurt”.
The only way to stop the spread of ridiculous conspiracy theories is to mock those who make them for being the nutters they are and drive them back to 4Chan and Parler before someone gets hurt.
Who on here is claiming Covid doesn’t exist? I have only heard the stance that it isn’t as deadly as much of the media would have you believe.It is the exact same principle. Deny overwhelming evidence of something based on nothing more than a baseless assertion that those claiming its existence have an agenda. See, e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/...rus-tell-us-about-conspiracy-theories/610894/

Just keep doing you as it is further reinforcement of my initial thoughts on what type of person you are.
I'm still looking for Mr Hanx............ Is he in Greece? My whacko friends have been sending me some disturbing sh*t the last two years and I keep saying, "GTFOOH" and they say, "for reals this time." Can someone at least ask Forrest to come out and speak about how he's doing today after being the first super star to catch the Corona. That would put me more at ease.......
