DARLINGTON LEAGUE IS GREAT

SEPP BLATTER GIVES HIS THUMBS UP ON THE HISTORIC LEAGUE

Don't Worry I'm here for the Players

Greetings my Spartans!

Well, it's been a while since I've blogged on our outdoor team.
Time to Catch up and let our fans know what's going on.

A LOSING SEASON
This is one of the worst seasons we have endured...perhaps the worst of all time.

But none of you should feel that this is your fault.
It isn't.
The League has changed, and I think to the worse.

NO MORE REC LEAGUES
The problem with soccer in this area is that we have too many really good teams.

You may say...Baron, this isn't a bad thing.

It is though...and let me explain before cutting me off like that again!

With so many skilled teams, the "REC" team is being forced out.
The "NEO-REC" teams as I call them are weaker REP teams.
And instead of attempting to play against their own kind...they opt to dominate a less skilled league.
What joy it is to beat teams 7-16 nil each week? I dunno.

But what it does is force guys to leave soccer.
There's no enjoyment.
And no avenue for them to pursue soccer for fun

And that...my friends...is disgusting.
Because leagues are discouraging men who love the game to leave it.
And that is true corruption.

IS IT AGE RELATED?
This is the biggest load of garbage that it being perpetrated out in the soccer community.

You're older, so you're not as fast, skilled or whatever s#!t is imagined.

Listen...there are guys over sixty that can beat out most twenty year olds with skill and running.
Age doesn't make the player.
Years of dedication and training make the player.
And not everyone has that time to put into it!!!

And this pushes out of those who don't have the skill level to compete.
You know...the REC players.
Those guys who never "went over" with soccer skill.
It has nothing to do with age. So let's address the overall problem.

THE SOLUTION?
I will continue to fight for a league of equals.
Where teams are balanced.
Where games are (as one wise man told me) competitive.

Where fun is the main reason to play.

As long as I have interest, I will continue to put my efforts into creating such a league.
And one day...I hope to put soccer back on the map here in Oshawa area.
