Doesn’t the fact that 500 clubs have ECRL mean that we didn’t really need it all in the first place and smaller regional leagues would have been just fine?
@jeramye Agreed, seems like the state leagues were fine with 1 elite level national league on girls side and 1 on boys side. Beyond that there’s no need for all this travel, there’s strong enough competition close to home
@JoelCurtis19 @jeramye Or, as in some states, there WOULD be if they didn’t choke off their rivals by restricting their access to competition.
@hatrik10 @JoelCurtis19 I’m in Alabama. We don’t have the population base or culture for clubs to have ECNL MLSNEXT ECRL NPL DPL SCCL and more. This state might can produce 1-2 high level teams to play in those alphabet soup league. Everyone else should stay in state league
@hatrik10 @JoelCurtis19 @jeramye YO...this is by far the #1 issue and i have been saying this for a while. Needs to be yelled louder. Whats going on is gross
