As we continue to prepare ourselves for the everlasting FOMO hype cycle churned out by our local propaganda machines (NEW LEAGUES! NEW FRANCHISE NAME! NEW FIELDS!), it is interesting to note that Luke Krawczyk, former club director of one SC club, appears to have been quietly removed from his role as director at SC Surf.

For those who don’t know, or remember, Luke is the guy who brought the Surf franchise to the non-profit dba USAMP and was hailed as the new, better face of the club to replace the recently resigned Executive Director. Luke also brought his best friends along with him from GPS. USAMP's board, and the 2 directors who actually run the club, seemed to jump at the lifeline (think of the FOMO!). Luke was then dismissed from Surf HQ; hired directly by the USAMP board with the blessing of the 2 directors; and is now no longer employed by USAMP and works for Challenger Teamwear. Why is he gone? Did one of the directors mention what they know about the DOJ investigation? Did the USAMP board finally become curious about what they had been told by others a year ago? Either way, the lack of an announcement would suggest they are not proud of this saga, and happy to sweep it under the FOMO rug.

The problem is that half of the directors still on their website are Luke’s GPS buddies. So the next question that the coaches, directors and board of SC Surf have no doubt asked themselves, as it is their moral and financial duty, is: What about his GPS cronies? What reason do we have to believe that a guy who has followed Luke around for years or another guy who's wedding he was in, are any different than he is? Birds of a feather flock together and Department of Justice has plucked and cooked two of Luke’s buddies as the investigation into crimes against the country continue. That said, even if Luke’s former GPS buddies still at Surf are different than him (and different than this guy: https://www.soccertoday.com/former-gps-coach-bogdan-botezatu-arrested-for-sexual-assault-of-minors/), will they be able to detach themselves from him now?

For instance, imagine Luke knowing that you had been in the US on an illegal visa and he asked you to do something. The ever-present threat of getting sent home or to jail based on what Luke knows about you might make you do some things you normally wouldn't. What would you have to do to repay a thug for a lawyer's fee if you needed one and couldn't afford it? What would you have to do to repay a thug for the tax fraud you committed? I don't envy the situations some of these guys may be in. I hope they turn out to be decent people, come clean to the DOJ and to their coworkers and the families they are paid to serve. By letting the SC Surf personnel know what leverage Luke and his former bosses still have over them, decisions will be easier to make. And the questions that the Surf personnel are obliged to ask on behalf of the community they serve can be made in time because, should the writing on the wall prove to be true, and no questions are asked and answers demanded, the club may lose not only its place in FOMO leagues it covets, but may also lose what standing it still has in the soccer community.

Time will tell what happens next, but it is important to note that whatever may come, nobody at SC Surf can say later that they "didn't know" about the situation. Whatever comes to light they will wear it around their necks like an anvil if they sit back and wait. Whether they are a make their living as a business person, a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, or a coach, now is the time to stand up and be counted.

Your obsession is flaring this morning.

James Island SC, CSC and Surf all have former GPS employees working for them.

As for your post you are grasping at straws, despite how much Surf dominates your thoughts, your unhinged and agenda driven behavior on this forum speaks for itself.

Which former GPS guys are Luke's best buddies, PervertInLC? Remember the DOJ asks questions it already knows the answers to.

Have I been wrong yet?

Jesus man,, it is a game played by kids. What in the world are you going to do after yours age out? It is ironic that GPS is now your target. LOL

The people who's actions were responsible for the fall of GPS are the target of the DOJ, if thats what you mean.

Because it is a game played by kids, it is the duty of our clubs to make sure adults who shouldn't be around kids are weeded out. Don't you agree?

All things Surf, not GPS is at the center of the obsession everyone is witnessing.

For the OP, today it is the fact that like CSC, James Island and countless other clubs, former GPS employees are working at Surf. Employees that he would like you to believe shouldn’t be around children. Luckily everyone can see the fallacy of such an illogical conclusion, and equally see what is really going on to terms of the OPs obsession.

Still waiting for 1 of the "countless" times I've been wrong....

...And once more for the hard of hearing, where did Luke's best buddies wind up?
