I agree. And as I said it was more venting. I am

certainly not pushing him in the travel soccer world. I think the whole thing is nuts and my post was more to get thoughts on the reason that I hadn't thought of. I think (outside of world cup) soccer is as boring as baseball. I'd rather him keep playing all the sports.

He made a decision to not do travel and said he said "I'll just play development," which I think he assumed he would make because it is less competitive in the sense they only play in the county and don't travel around the DMV. So it was venting on part and seeing his disappointment in part.
