So my only outlet is posting on here criticizing young girls. Cut me some slack. My life is really sad.

Most kids with big-time soccer deeams won't make it, and should be left alone in peace when they reach the end of their road. I suspect the real target of this thread is the Thorns, and that this is the usual sniping from the usual suspects, and HC is merely collateral damage.

Second comment was a question.
Third comment was an assertion that the Thorns had no interest in giving her a professional contract, and told her to play college instead.
Entire thread turned into a dogpile, roundly accusing her (and her parents, even though she's an adult) of being fools, with the Thorns being blamed for this for various reasons by a few commenters.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI don't know on the first post - you have some folks (including at Thorns) openly promoting the professional path to the exclusion of the college path for young women. Celebrating young women that bypass or leave early the college game seems to be their current MO.
Academies give a chance at the pros, but the college path is always available, and you have to go through a lot of paydirt to find a nugget.

If you can turn pro, it might be a better deal, depending on what schollys you can get. A full ride at UNC is probably worth more than most pro contracts. 0.1FTE at Grand Canyon College, not so much.
And most players to go through either academy won't turn pro. Only two Timbers Academy alums have first team contracts, and none yet from Thorns. It wouldn't surprise me if OM is the first, and that won't happen for 3-4 years, unless NWSL changes the rules to allow minors to play.
The academies do help with college placement as part of the deal. It isn't pros or bust.
