To bad the only qualifications for any entry is simply skill, talent and will.
Too bad you apparently need a certain piece of swinging bits to be a 'member.' Regardless of your scores for a tournament. RML
LOL. I guess size does count. I wish they would do something about that. Perhaps a fed funded stimulus plan?
You can pretty much stimulate your members elsewhere, if you asked me. LOL.
Quote: I didn't intend to slam latino soccer clubs, they are just fine with me. I just used them as an example of being 'there', working well and quite popular here. No one seems to have any problem with them at all.
Being where? Do you know?
That's a diversion from the actual, overt, and founding racism of this particular league, and trying to paint things that come out of *ghettoes* as though it was in the same light.
There's 'Irish' and 'Italian' little soccer leagues, too, that doesn't mean they're trying to exclude the rest of the country, or insist, 'Irish soccer players are superior, and we're excluding those Bulgarian cheaters, with their... Skill and size, and stuff...' just that it's about the various communities.
Like, hey, for *minority communities,* maybe it's about not having an 'activity to do together' overwhelmed, like anything else, by any given member of some majority that outnumbers you, and feels like 'reverse discrimination' must be at play. To justify being a bigot.. And dragging all that crap right back into another corner of your community's life.
To be quite honest, it's different, Phil. (And I'm both identified with a racial majority, and a religious minority, not to mention all that stuff you guys think is about nothing but sex.)
There's a difference between saying, 'This is only for those seen as privileged so we can say 'black people are stupid' and act like, 'They don't deserve to have a lot of NBA stars that look like them' or saying, 'We can't let women into this elite golf club cause women can't golf, however good of golfers they are, but we'll still say we're the best golfers in the world, cause women can't golf...'
...And having a community league among those who just want to play without having everything they do taken over by the next dittohead who wants to 'prove a point.'
