Hard Headed,
I'm not bashing CESA, or MPSC, or CUFC, or Academy, or ANY current or former club singly. I'm bashing a system in which pre-adolescents are recruited by terminal adolescents for the sole apparent purpose of winning games.
Club Directors can call it what they want. It's fundamentally corrupt in that it abjectly fails to promote player development (any better at one club than another), while facilitating a self-important, entitled generation of kids.
So, to go back to the thread's origin ...
What's wrong with Lowcountry soccer is the same thing that's wrong with it everywhere in the state.
