Yes US Soccer acted shady with the way they are handling the DA ending. But for some reason southern CA clubs are taking an "every club for themselves" approach.
If you take away LAFC and Galaxy, you still have Surf, Real So Cal, FC Golden State, Pats, Nomads, Albion, Arsenal, Strikers, etc.
Why scramble to join some other national league? Do these directors think that scouts won't come to watch the best teams in southern CA? Do they think sending their kids to AZ or NV and paying for hotels, travel, etc. in these uncertain times makes sense? Do they not think that "top" teams won't come here to play our teams?
We are in power based on population and team quality. We need to flex our muscles, but that only works if our clubs work collectively. We should continue the DA without the MLS clubs in our region and have the strongest league in the country. We can still have showcases. We can still do Dallas Cup, Vegas Cup, Surf Cup.
This is a unique chance to do what's best for the players and their families and we are just blowing it.
