It is only harsh if you think that failing at something is bad. It is strange that people think kiddie soccer is so important that they're offended whenever someone suggests that maybe their kid may not be as good at it as they want them to be, whether it's ODP reps, or US Soccer picking YNT players, or club coaches deciding on playing time, or DOCs engaging in nefarious behavior that crush claims exists but can never quite put his finger on. They're perfectly fine making constant excuses that trash everyone around them instead of accepting the truth, yet they get offended when someone trashes them right back for their marginally brain addled conspiracy theories.
There is no shame in not making an ODP team. There is no shame in not making the YNT. There is no shame in not getting recruited by colleges. There is no shame in being a terrible soccer player. The mere fact that some people here define themselves by how good their child is at soccer is nuts. Kiddie soccer should be fun, yet people like met61 and crush can't do anything but complain how everything is so terrible whether it's ODP, or HS, or ECNL, or Surf, or college or whatever it is that isn't going as they had hoped. Instead of accepting what each of these things are for what they are, it's always some conspiracy of "elites" to ruin their lives. In fact, have you ever noticed that the bitter kiddie soccer conspiracy theorists who are constantly blaming "elites" for ruining their kids' lives also happen to be the same folks spouting conspiracy theories about "elites" conspiring about everything, including kiddie soccer, mask mandates, vaccines, and civil rights? I mean, met61 recently claimed that people pointing out Joe Rogan repeatedly dropping the N bomb - which even the douche himself admits was wrong and for which he apologized - constitutes elitists playing the "race card". People like met61 and crush are all about failing to take responsibility for anything. It's always a conspiracy of "elites" who are out to get them.
