The only question to ask yourself...Did this go one before? Yes. Okay next. Why cause chaos?

My son's academy team will break into three age groups because of kids who play up, stay the same, and move up.
Academy soccer isn’t being considered when making this change. To be fair, soccer doesn’t really get serious until U13. My belief is it’s being done primarily due to recruiting. Having recruiting classes playing together makes a lot of sense. Kids will still play up if they are capable and the club approves. The number of kids playing up does decrease once they hit ECNL. There will be issues initially but I do believe having recruiting classes play together is beneficial to the kids and the colleges.

I can’t vote in the mayoral race either. Drove past a couple of polling places on my way to work this morning and I’ve never seen lines to vote like this. I think Keith gets the independent and Pub vote and it’s enough to carry her across the finish line. Nichols made a mistake taking assistance from the Dem party and blocking Keith from the same. That will hurt him with independents.
Neither of these people excites me. I want people who can convince people and businesses to move here and run the government efficiently. I have my doubts about both.

ECNL does not like that the player’s final year of club soccer is a pieced together team of kids who haven’t played together. They also don’t like all the “opt outs” and believe kids would be more likely to continue to play in club if they were playing for their “team”. The change would also make it easier for colleges to scout as the players would all be in the same graduating class. The recruiting argument is probably the most persuasive to me

Only the Pubs with an army of lawyers huh. I know I shouldn’t be but I’m still surprised to see intelligent people completely blind to seeing both sides

Their lawers are only there in response to Trumps lawyers. That didn't happen before Trump's claims of a tainted election happened.

I know both sides have their army of lawyers, but only the losing side really activates them and then the other responds.

Plus Steve Bannon in 2020 and again this year has already said the game plan for Trump in swing states is to declare victory early and then cry about election fraud when the absentee ballots are counted OR that they start releasing totals from urban centers where vote counting takes longer because...and this is a revelation to me....there are 10-100X more votes to be counted, and where support for Dem candidates is stronger vs rural precincts with 20 voters and typically support GOP candidates. Georgia in 2020 was this exact scenario where Cobb County (Atlanta) results came in really late and overwhelmingly swung the state to Joe Biden.
