Chico,
I agree 100%. All successful competitive clubs toot their own horn and promote their own acheivements because there's no one else to do it for them. It's the nature of the beast.
When Nick Finotti had his run at Northwestern his team (and school) received tremendous press coverage the weeks of the state final. If Nick wins a USYSA national championship with a CESA boys team, he would never see the same coverage in the Greenville paper. It's safe to say he would receive much more coverage in the Greenville paper for just reaching a state final with Riverside than he ever would if he won a national championship with a club team.
CESA, and all clubs, have to self-promote. Stacking up the balls to show "Us vs. Them"....that's creative, but some might take it as a slap in the face.
