ECNL vs. DA turf war has created a 'toxic environment'

I think you should be more worried about how long this stay safe at home lasts. If it extends into the fall there goes all pro, college, HS and club sports for that season. Even if things then recover in 2021, College Sports will never be the same with the loss of the Football revenue for a season. While colleges will likely honor their current scholarship commitments to current college students I could see most college sports losing all of their future scholarships and a lot of their funding for years. In that scenario if your kid has not signed an official college NLI already, kiss good bye any chance at a scholarship. Then the stupid argument between DA and ECNL won't matter because no one will pay to play in those leagues without the potential hope of college scholarship.

Listen Lester, let me help you out. Were all told to score a run in the game of baseball, right? For my story about whites and blacks, let's use scoring a run as being a winner in life. Q for you Lester. How does someone score a run?

Who is Lester? Some guy that touched you when you were hanging ten?

The word "privilege" has become an insult. It suggests someone was given a head start or hand up that others didn't get. Moreover, it suggests someone didn't work as hard or sacrifice as much to achieve whatever it is they're trying to achieve. That doesn't mean privilege doesn't exist... but I don't believe privilege is determined by skin color.

I think there are different levels of privilege. I think currently the ultimate form of privilege is white male privilege. But, I can also admit that as a black male oftentimes I have male privilege over white women. So, race isn’t the only factor but it’s part of the analysis.
That doesn’t suggest you didn’t work for what you have or that you haven’t endured adversity. It simply means all things being considered equally you have a few extra cards to play. You receive the benefit of being considered a man of honor and intelligent. I get viewed with skepticism and receive no beneficial assumptions when people see me. And that my friend is privilege.

So let's look at your first 2 sentences and your last 2 sentences. Why do you think a white male has more privilege and a black man gets viewed with skepticism and no beneficial assumptions? Why do you think that is?

We all discount the privileges that our society/state/country do offer us. Like an education, running water, indoor plumbing, Starbucks, medical care, etc. But nothing beats the privilege of finding a Pliny The Elder.

Hopefully you’re right. Then maybe the MLS will hold up their obligation to open up Academies and all the girls that don’t make the team can apply for academic scholarships and apply all the coin their parents save by them developing in a MLS academy to their education.

What? I can’t imagine anyone hoping that scenario comes true. I fear that scenario.

You don;t like sports, I can tell. My dd can walk on then because she probably won;t need any money from the college. We are very unique and wont take up the funds. They can give all the money to the goat(s). She wants to win College Cup so that's cool for me. Came out of knowhere too. I'm getting out of this house asap btw. We went LBHS to train today and all locked up. I bet you called the cops on us too. Today, we went to a grass park with no one there and a Sheriff Helicopter told us to get on the sidewalk. We obeyed :)

Look at the over representation of black men in prison and the under representation of black men in college. Look at the under representation of white men in prison and the over representation of white male’s in college.
That’s one example but there’s more.
You gotta be kidding, but I’ll humor you. I’m stuck in the house and bored as hell.

So you think behavior isn't the biggest attribute there? I've watched COPS for 30+ years. If I had a nickel for every black man that said "---- shouldn't be illegal" I'd be retired. And maybe white males are "over represented" because they value education more? How come, and I've noted this before here, there is a Rooney Rule in the NFL? When there's 30 jobs available, and African Americans represent only 13% of the population, why are teams required to interview a black man when 65% of the players are black? And how come nobody bitches that 75% of NBA players are black? At some point you need to be honest with yourself. Maybe there's more black men in prison because black men commit more crimes or aren't as good at getting away with crime. Maybe there are fewer black men in college because they average 25% lower on their SAT scores than whites.

Crime studies don’t support your claims. By suggesting that there is some sort of black privilege because the NBA is 75% black is another example of your white male privilege. Black men dominate the NBA because their grandparents were culled and selectively bred for performance for hundreds of years during slavery.
