Sei utile a questa discussione come le tette di un toro. An old fashioned beat down is what you might be looking for. Moving on to Jerome's FAF, some of us here are waiting with bated breath for his stumbles and Surf getting even more black eyes.

That was the point of the post; it was sarcasm. ECNL doesn't care about FAF, and neither do 95% of the parents on SURF or EC was the point. The point of the post was how stupid everyone here is getting over him having his daughter on a team. Literally, no one cares except for the few parents that are on the B team that want to move because they felt their daughter was better than his. Maybe a few parents on the actual team if his daughter isn't good and is costing them games. Otherwise, nobody cares! The point was even if that team finishes last because his daughter was on the team ECNL would not care because look at EMSC.

The main points I'm getting from this thread is ECNL does not care. They are a money league and they've only expanded this new division so tehy can get more money from other clubs in the NY region. EMSC seems to have been an ECNL failure for years, but they keep registering full rosters and paying ECNL their dues every year. So why change that?
More importantly is the FAF team now ECRL or whatever they call themselves has been put together under the guise of a failed marriage last year that birthed the Elite 64 roster at Surf. Talented girls from all 3 clubs were spread out amongst 2 teams so both can be competitive in the new league. Long standing Surf parents on the non FAF team felt slighted when they were treated as the red headed step children. Tryouts was the solution to bring the best talent under 1 team and moving the rest through other 2 or 3 teams for the particular age group. This is where, I think the anxiety with Jerome's FAF came about. He went and personally engineered the tryouts to favor his daughter, her friends and the other FAF kids. Slighted parents got disgusted as they saw it all happening in front of their eyes and get this one....gave Jon F the finger on the way out.
It seems as if they went to tryout at LISC who brought them into the GA team. Ironic that these kids couldn't make an ECRL team but were given GA spots to compete at higher level. If I'm hearing right a couple went on and got acceptances from Gary Sullivan at EMSC for the 2009 ECNL team. Again go figure. My takeaway is Jerome did himself and those kids an injustice by not letting the tryout process unfold naturally. Looks like the Surf brand been soiled at least for this age group and you know the saying 1 hint of bad news spreads 10 fold like wild fire. So I am pretty certain these parents and kids that left have already spread their message out to all their Surf friends.

My question is why so much hatred and fire? This thread was dead until the FAF Fiasco came out. FAF=FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Not too sure about this....not many spots open on GA unless it's the new GA rising team and as far as EMSC....the ones who are going back are probably the couple who used to play for him and left EM a couple years ago. Now with Gary back, they're running back.
