ECNL PDP List for New England

[Unregistered]

Absurd conclusion that poster is a "trophies for all" person, whatever the heck that means, as that phrase is the most ridiculous phrase in the history of TS. And no, it's not called "life." It's called poor form, and completely unnecessary and gratuitous.

Poor form to highlight an accomplishment? Why? Because it may hurt someone's feelings?

It is good form to highlight accomplishments.

It is considered by many to be poor form to publicize the names of minors on this board.

Recent history has shown that anyone who gets any credit here tends to eventually get bashed so many have come to the conclusion it is better to keep the accomplishments quiet.

I see the people who bash the kids as bullies and I don't see how letting the bullies win by hiding accomplishes anything.

I think it's bad form to discuss specific minors on this site, especially when people start to pick apart the skills and accomplishments of these kids. However, publishing a list of kids that made a team or camp should be okay. This information is in the public domain.

Maybe we'll be lucky this time, and there won't be a rash of nasty comments about the kids on the list. It would be a TS first.

First of al congratulations to all of the young ladies on the list. Effort rewarded is always a good thing.

The primary issue with this thread is the motivation for starting it. I doubt that many here believe that it was started to congratulate the players.

Given that this link was obviously provided by someone at the club level with access to this document (a parent would have likely just copied and pasted the information in - not used a drop box), it was more likely started to add another chip in the never ending Stars versus ODP battle aimed at answering claims that the club has nothing to replace ODP with.

The sad thing is posting this list in this manner only puts the players on it in the crosshairs because the inevitable counter argument will be to discuss who should or should not be on the list in an effort to discredit it.

Given where the list undoubtedly originated that speaks volumes about how little the club actually cares about its players.

Lots of assumptions on your part

A lot of bad assumptions in this post.

The poster just cut and pasted the link from the ECNL site given in the other thread. The drop box is the ECNL drop box that anyone has access to if they go to the ECNL site.

Clubs who wish to congratulate their players do so on their own website with the intention of publicizing the accomplishment to their club members who they rightfully assume are the primary visitors of the site. Clubs who wish to capitalize on their player's accomplishments do so by publishing that information in a public forum for other's outside the club to see.

At the point this thread was started, few people outside of club had access to the information otherwise a simple link to the league's website would have sufficed. Whomever published the document went to great lengths to ensure that the original document could be seen presumably to validate the source that was publishing it. That speaks to a motivation beyond simply congratulating the players.

why post this? did you think every kid and parent wanted this posted?

think

This person understands the issues, they just don't want to believe that their club could actually be that callous.

... or you are a lunatic parent with a pathological need for everyone to know your daughter's name is on the list. All of this is quite sordid.

Great lengths?????

My guess is they were on the ECNL site and saw the link, and copied it from their not thinking at all about the conspiracy theories that you would be able to construct.

All of this to give TP coverage for using his players to sell the Stars brand. Pretty sad.

This musing is very reminiscent of what my great uncle who suffered from dementia used to say.

Yeah, just checked and the link to the announcement with the list of girls is on the front of the ECNL website. So the only great lengths seem to be typing www.eliteclubsnationalleague.com, then clicking, and doing a cut-and-paste. Not that complex of an operation.

Also, the same info was posted on a different thread in response to someone asking a few days ago if the list was out (since some of the other regions had already posted their list).

I'm all for a good conspiracy, but it needs at least some plausibility to work.

Given that the link (yes, dropbox) was a straight cut-n-paste from the ECNL website, perhaps you should go back to the Wizard and ask for a different brain, because the one he gave you ain't worth sh*t.

Stupid is as stupid does.

That is a public document. Go to this page:

Click on the link for the rosters and you get the doc from a dropbox. Now what did you want to say?
