Huh? I don't understand your point at all, are you essentially saying that despite numerous, apparently conclusive studies, there is no such thing as relative age effect?

From just the last study linked:

"The results of this study provide empirical evidence of the relative age effect, for ODP soccer players born in 1984, at both the state and regional levels."

Seems pretty conclusive, but you are the scientist apparently.

I guess you need help reading.

First of all the article stated that there was no age affect for female players.

For the male players you are talking about 60% born the first half and 40% born the second half. The data point was based on one year.

Why did the article take 3 years of data points for the females and one year for male?

Statistics are fairly easy to manipulate to support most theories because there will always be suckers like you who want to believe a story.
