Of course it is a non topic to people like you. But the majority of people who are explained this recent YOUTH sports change to grade based teams, it isnt. Most people think it is an unsavory part of youth sports allowing a select group to get an advantage. And then when a Club gets the majority of these select groups of players , the majority of people find it even more disgusting.
And it isnt just LI parents that feel this way. Many in MD do also. Middle school teams and HS teams are where you can use this advantage but in YOUTH sports , IT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG.
