CA youth sports

I was wondering this too- And how are they going to handle the no leaving the state? We have two tournaments coming up out of state, I'm wondering now if we get to attend or if they will cancel?

Must be nice living in a place where a governor can tell people they can't go to other states to do stuff. What is the word I am looking for that describes that?

Ummmm, no. Surf cares about #1 $$ and #2 expanding its brand across the country. Their care for the kids is only through the lens of how can they help us with #1 and 2.

You can't tell me that holding a tournament, out of state, at the peak of the pandemic, against state travel bans, after AZ field closures, after other tournaments in the area had been cancelled, and during a D1 recruiting ban was for the kids. No. That's called trying to do everything possible to make up for a revenue shortfall, including thwarting laws and rules that most other CA soccer clubs rightly decided to follow, and then using that defiance to try and recruit players from other clubs that made the difficult decision to follow the law.

And now, though I agree with their position that kids should be able to resume playing. If their primary concern was for their kids and the rest of our soccer playing kids and kids playing other sports, then they wouldn't have thrown everyone else under the bus in their written reply nor would they fan the flames with personal attacks directed at local homeowners and politicians. The judge down there looks like he may have thrown all SD clubs a lifeline to get reopened sooner (Surf not involved in that lawsuit), but picking fights with groups that can completely shut down your business (and keep your customers off the field) is not an astute strategy if your #1 care is the kids.

Your socialist lens is quite apparent. It’s so bad that a big bad business is trying to survive, being flexible-adapt to the environment. Does it matter if surf were the leading advocate against our awful state government pseudo science? Kids benefited in so many ways not listening to your governor...

So then I take it by your comments that you are all for the hedge funds breaking the SEC rules and laws, big banks doing the same, LA actresses hiring smart kids to take their moron child's SAT, politicians accepting campaign donations over the limits, airlines keeping passengers on planes for 10+ hours, etc.?

Your posts wreak of white privilege and hypocrisy.

Being "flexible" in business NEVER means breaking the law, and especially requiring your customers to break the law.

At first I was in favor of Surf’s actions. The more I think of it, they should just shut up and take the blame. Most clubs in California followed the rules. Surf bend the rules and they got caught.

As a team manager, I kept hearing from parents why our club didn’t do what Liverpool, surf, and others were doing. Why did we have to follow the rules when others didn’t.

Now that we are so close to opening up, it’s time for Surf to just take it and shut up. If you wanted to pick this political battle with ABC then you should have done it with the governor or mayor back in summer of 2020. You got caught and own it now.

I would say a majority of clubs haven't followed the rules. Go to the 'side on any given weekend.

So in this case, what “law” was broken?

There's only one appropriate word, California. In China, they'd actually enforce it. California has proven itself to be the Queen of Virtue Signaling. I know NY is a little sad that they didn't get the title, but their governor's actions with the nursing homes were responsible for a few (thousand) too many deaths. Good virtue signalers know better than to be associated with that.

True, many have broken the rules but only Surf is saying FU we are Surf and we don’t care if we broke the rules. Things will open up within week, no reason to pound your chest now.
Other clubs would accept the blame and move on.

Important to note that Surf issued the response BEFORE Newsolini made the announcement.

Hey coach from LAFC, my name is Bill. I'm a dad of 17 year female soccer player in socal. How many daughters you got? You and your crew of parents annoy the shit out of me and that's why I come back. You are not hear to educate yourself. I have 11 years of socal soccer youth experience. I can educate you so much coach if you PM me. I know it all. You are lying coach and what else is new. Keep speaking lie, liar. Happy Sunday coach-

I have no daughters I am just a coach. I absolutely have NO CLUE what you’re talking about regarding a crew of parents because I have no crew; I’m on this forum by myself. You say you have 11 years of SoCal soccer experience and I believe you, but I have 14 (as a player & as a coach.) I’ve seen both sides and I’m just here to see what else is new and either encourage or complain because it IS a forum after all. Also I’m not a liar idk why you said I’m lying? Maybe I struck a nerve seeing as how narcissistic your essays on the forum are.

No twisting words!! Unions....not the Teachers....the Unions.

Unions are comprised of their membership no matter how much you don’t like it. Just like your magat friends lost the election, magat teachers also lost their union elections.

Unions are so horrible. Keeping members from getting wrongfully terminated. Increasing wages and benefits. Definitely better to let the government you hate so much make unilateral decisions about teachers and students with no repercussions. That’s a great idea.

How many in the Teachers Union leadership are actively teaching?

Power (like the anonymity of a screen name) tends to give people a sense of empowerment. Many get addicted and it changes them.

Odd that not ALL teachers Unions are so anti-science. Just a small handful like CA and VA.
