By not giving waivers, it did not give all players a clear choice. For those attending private schools, ECNL was their only option at Stars. Then you have players like the prior post said that follow their friends, some of whom had to play ECNL.

Players that attend private schools could have chosen GDA instead of ECNL. At Stars, it was not an option. If players that attended private schools were given waivers, they could have at least had GDA as an option. Perhaps other players would have followed.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPDA allowed massive waivers though. People underestimate the signal that sends. If you are going to do that you are NOT giving GDA a real chance. Any younger kid is going to look up to the "stars" on the older teams and say if Jilly does HS, so will I.
You cannot compare FC Stars and PDA for that single reason. a U18/19 player at Stars was faced with a difficult choice. At PDA, less so.
the other part is its pretty clear that the supermarket Clubs are selling a brand. they are marketing and selling TEAM success. I dont think that team success necessarily =/= development.
*as in grandfathering current HS players, not waivers for private school players which is a separate thing and will continue no matter what

Had they stuck to it they would have gotten a much better picture of demand instead of the artificial read they got. It really would have forced players' hands had they said no from the start.

My take: you got called out for an idiotic comment and your pea brain deflected
