Its another example of a guy playing things by the rule book and getting abuse for it while other do whatever they want and slide under the radar. Other teams have abused the waver process and for what? If kids wanted HS, they could do it. So why exactly should they be given special treatment?

The very best players who are in the GDA have more options than anyone. The USSF wants them to choose the GDA so they can continue to invest. Its the Clubs , especially those in the ECNL core group, who seem to be using waivers extensively. Telling the USSF, we do not believe in forcing choice. Its ironic because they dont seem to be willing en masse to not offer the USSF product. Why not if they dont believe in it?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostRead the rules lol. Plenty of clubs violate the rules. Parents know some clubs are desperate and are taking advantage of it. If you're asking families to abide by the rules then clubs and USSF must lead by example.
As far as the families go, I dont get your point. What advantage is a family getting by playing HS and GDA? The only advantage i can think of is if they think GDA>ECNL and most people dont believe that to be the case. Nothing is forcing anyone to break any rules if they want to play HS soccer.

LISC face off against Fury FC this Saturday. If Fury dominates, does this spell the beginning of the end for LISC?
