What else would they be in it for ? I did 7 years in NJ as a youth coach, referee and referee coach, and can honestly say I was in it for the kids - as was every other coach. I don't know what your beef is with youth soccer, but I'm glad you've at last found someone with honourable intentions.

It certainly expresses thoughts that have crossed my mind. The only problem with it, of course, is that no one at the FL -- indeed, quite likely none of the Chairs of the over 50 League Clubs gives two fcuks about the fans. Oh, they SAY they do, of course. In word they care greatly about their own supporters, yes they do... .... but I'm reminded of Youth soccer in this country. Everyone, but everyone says they're in it "for the kids." Riiiiight. The next time I find someone who's TRULY in Youth Soccer for the benefit of the kids -- as distinct from their own greater glory or some other similar motive -- will be the FIRST time I find someone who's in it for the kids. Same sh*t, different smell.
