Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThorns DA cover about 60% of the total cost.
Timbers Academy has produced two players signed to first-team contracts (Farfan and Langsdorf). Both currently spend most of their time with T2, and haven't managed to break into the first team.
Thorns hasn't yet produced any first-team players... but it's not like the Timbers Academy is significantly more productive.
Most of the whining from the neighborhood clubs would vanish--or at least become pointless sniping--were this to occur.

Many neighborhood clubs heavily subsidize families who cannot afford . . .
they don't use that as an excuse as to why they shouldn't follow the rules or good business practices.

Apples and Oranges topic;

It's part of their mission to provide the opportunity to play for all interested , they aren't built or able to provide the standard of a pro youth or adult club. Obviously.

Some level of business ethics isn't too much to ask.
Sorry you sold out.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFor instance, in his email of May 4, 2019, Seattle United coach Rich Reece made the following statement when replying to WYS and a group of RCL coaches and administrators:
“At some stage do we recommend our members don’t support their pro team until they show they are a club that wants to work in the community and work alongside other clubs in Washington to better the youth landscape.”
Subsequent to this suggestion from Mr. Reece, Paul Bayly forwarded a note to from Terry Fisher to its member clubs that stated:
“Good afternoon. Earlier today I instructed staff to remove all reference to Reign FC from our website. No logo, no ticket sales, no promotion. This suspension shall remain in effect until further notice.”
It looks to me like the Reign are the one's whining. If they are not a member of WYS then why are they expecting the WYS continue to support them?? You can't have it both ways. Not be a member so you are not bound by their rules, but then expect these clubs to work along side you so you can go poach their players.
Good for WYS for standing up to the Reign.
As for whining, I don’t understand your claim that the Reign are the ones whining. They are quite clearly stating that the market will decide who survives, and also demands the clubs refrain from defamation.
