It's not a fact. It's an assumption. They might. They might not.

I agree that it is a tough road in the best of circumstances, but I do expect more than I see. Better presentation and professionalism. A league website that is not wholly embarrassing for instance.


And yet...this is about the best one they've ever had. What's embarrassing about this one? This league has been behind the curve on a lot of things for a lot of reasons (among them money and vision), but, again, if you're looking at it from the perspective of someone who just dropped in, I would invite you to have a longer view of the situation.

And as far as your last point goes, late to the party is the correct answer. I've never pretended otherwise. I started paying attention to the Thunder and by extension the USL last year. But hey, thanks for making yet another of your posts gratuitously negative. Always a pleasure.


We aim to please.

Point being, your frame of reference is skewed if you don't have a working knowledge of where this organization has been and how much better organized it is than it was ten years ago.

Feel free to either offer your abundant talents to make things better, though.



When the old guard is quoted in the present tense in the press release I think it is closer to fact than assumption.

What is embarrassing about the latest USL website? Is that irony? It is close to useless. Pick a conference team at random and there is a very good chance that their website will be more impressive. I do not need to take the long view to recognize functional obsolescence.

My abundant talents! Now that was supposed to be irony, right Einstein? If only one could yawn and gag at the same time, that is precisely what I would do when reading your rapier wit.

Ohhhhhh, a Euro, or a Europoseur. I see now. Everything's better across the pond, says the guy from the tony white suburb of Minnesota. I gotcha.

I agree w/ Propes ... devolving threads are the bane of BigSoccer ... let's keep our posts pertinent.

Especially personal comments about a person based upon their posted residence ... you have not (and I believe, neither have I) ever met the man.

Take your spinner bait, and troll in some other waters.

Thanks LS.

I do have an EU passport. I wonder if that makes me cool.

Let's kindly keep this on topic, and away from personal, ethnic, or slurred comments. Cheers, Dan
