This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Now all we have to do is get the rest of the board fired by Irishlawyer
At least the people dealing with at large positions and the pro seats.
What does Donna Shalala know about soccer? I know she has a good deal of experience working in corrupt organizations.
How about Lisa Carnoy, an investment banker who is a trustee at Columbia where Sunil was an economics instructor.
Val Ackerman at least has credentials in sports.
John Collins was the attorney for US Soccer (crony position).
Steve Malik and Don Garber... well, we know what kind of interests they want to protect.
Almost all of these people fail at having the best interests of soccer in mind.
