I chuckle at your "utter disregard for civility" comment. Me thinks you should be the one looking in the mirror....

Walk down the busiest street in the busiest city in just about any country in Europe and you won't see the utter disregard for civility we have even here in the Athens of America. Or that you see when you look in the mirror.

Can anyone offer a Massachusetts success story? Of playing in Europe? =>Not sure for MA but Americans playing in Europe, sure.
For the 3rd year in a row Massachusetts leads the country in AP test scores. =>No comparison with Europe.
We have the best public schools in the nation. =>No comparison with Europe.
We have several excellent private schools in the state. =>No comparison with Europe.
Most college players don't travel more than a 6 hour drive from home to go to school. =>No comparison with Europe.
There are 21 D1 colleges in New England. =>No comparison with Europe.
Eurpope? Really? It's the new resume builder I guess, like volunteering in an Third World orphanage. American students playing soccer in Europe is a side effect of the Upper Middle Class need to differentiate their kids and manufacture experiences. It's not about soccer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTake a gap year. Backpack through Europe after college graduation. Travel all you want. That's not the same as mortgaging your child's education to live "adventurously." If you live in Arkansas and your education system is sub-par then, by all means, move wherever you can for any reason.
Why do these clowns continue to brag about their self-indulgent idiocy? How many games have they actually played in the last two years, 5-6?

Isn’t that more games than most Revs players?
