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.

There are also the NWSL youth clubs. Portland Thorns by Domerduck
took over the Youth Elite programs in the city which were always very good. Then parents would move to the city to develop their girls. This happened with Olivia Moultrie a who accepted a UNC scholarship offer in 2017 when she was 12 years old (see link). As she played club ball she started wanting to play pro early and Thorns signed her in 2019 as she moved to Oregon to train and go to high school. After suing NWSL, she now is a key player on the THorns at age 18. Other players are doing the same.
