It would be interesting to see what stereotypes each side Thorns vs ECNL have and later revisit to see if any are true especially if people would leave name calling or names altogether out and write short concise thoughts about what is with the chosen option or wrong with the "other" option. Here is a little of what I have seen so far:
ECNL Supporters:
Thorns Academy will play inferior teams in the FWRL
Thorns Academy will have only bad players
ECNL players will have more college opportunities
ECNL players will get to play better talent
ECNL players are better players
Timbers Alliance clubs are all the same and therefore are all bad
Thorns Academy Supporters:
ECNL is too expensive. It could range between $6000 upwards of $25,000 if you take the whole family to every event
Thorns is much cheaper
Thorns get to affiliate with a professional soccer organization
ECNL teams will be diluted
ECNL supporters are all drinking the kool aid and are crazy
