FW: [nas] Hey Bruce -- p!ss off!



I had thought MLS had no choice but to treat green card holders the same
as citizens because of discrimination/employment laws.  A green card
means you are entitled to work in this country on the same basis as
citizens, and to not hire someone because he is not a citizen is to
discriminate on the basis of national origin.

Deep in this wonderful article about the USA WC effort, you get a few
words from our boy Bruce.

On MLS's decision to allow green-card holders not to count as
international
players: "The green-card ruling is not in the best interests of the
national team. Look at Dallas. How many of those guys are Americans? But
that's life."

You have a problem with exactly who now?  Chris GBandi ought to be
considered for the US national team and Oscar Pareja loves the Burn more
than any player in this league loves their team -- and I challenge
anyone to show otherwise.

First off, let's answer your rhetorical question.  Matt Jordan, Jason
Kreis, Paul Broome, Ryan Suarez, Bobby Rhine, Eddie Johnson, Chad
Deering -- of the ones getting regular or semi-regular pt.  (I will
admit, I am not completely sure about Antonio Martinez.)

Second, what is the point?  Where is the US player who isn't getting pt
because of those players?  Granted, there could be a problem if you had
three SIs and eights players with green cards, but you don't have that.

Or what about your favorite player, Marco Etcheverry?  You know, the one
who is now out of the playoffs -- again?  Doesn't he have a green card?

And let's turn that around -- Marco has his kids here.  What if they (or
other soccer-talented-parent-raised-kids) turn out to be as good as
their parents and want to play well for the US?  Are you going to turn
them down because their parents weren't "born citizens"?

Last I checked, Bruce, this was supposed to still be the land of
opportunity, and what better way to develop and grow the talent base
than bringing in players willing to come to what used to be and to a
certain extent still is a second-rate but growing and developing league?
Do you think this league would be anywhere without El Pibe, El Diablo,
Leonel Alvarez, Mauricio Cienfuegos, Robert Warzycha, Carlos EFFIN
Llamosa!!!!, Jaime Moreno, Peter Nowak, Diego Gutierrez, etc.?

Or where would Landon have been if all he had to play against and with
while growing up in Cali were anglos?

It is a strength, not a weakness, @$$hole!

Someone might want to point this obvious blind spot to him -- good as he
is, it is this kind of idiocy that will keep the US from truly becoming
a world power.  It really is that simple.

But hey.  Lo que sea.

So Sez Drummer Boy http://flashpages.prodigy.net/klindstr/home.html

Ow, I know what a broken collarbone (aka clavicle)
feels like. 

I hope that he has a speedy recovery and is back in
fine form for 2003. :)

No, but I know a Barn Burner who is one. 
Plus I read them a couple of years ago myself since I
was married to a Mexican.

But this is different, when representing your country. Just like you need 
to be naturalized when you work for the department of state (albeit 
representing at a different level).

This is the land of opportunity - but you gotta be American (legally at 
least) to represent America!

I think you're talking about a couple of different things.

In MLS Green Card holders do not count against the foreign player limit 
(of 3).  This is due to the labor laws of the US.   If you have a green 
card, then you are -- employment wise-- the same as a citizen.  You can 
work and live here.

Representing the US in national soccer matches has nothing, directly,  
to do with the imigration or labor laws of the USA.  The rules governing 
who can play for what country are determined by FIFA.

An interesting bit from the article to stir things up:

Walton played both sports at the Bishop's School in San Diego -- 
football in the fall, soccer in the spring. He was all-state in football 
as a senior, but received only one scholarship offer, from Fresno State. 
So he enrolled at Notre Dame to play soccer, with the promise that he 
could try out for football eventually.

He had 10 goals and 7 assists as a freshman, but said, with no trace of 
brashness, that "college soccer was a step down" from club soccer.

Thanks for the link, Chris.  Maybe no NFL teams will want to draft Shane
because of his size and soccer will have chance to get him back.  But I
imagine he would rather try his luck as a walk-on at NFL camp than get
by on a P-40 salary.

Unfortunately for him and DCU, that's when it will have to be.

[casbahman's response deleted because I want to
address something specific in the above section of
Kevin's original post.]

If Marco or any other player, green carded or not, has
children born in the US the United States considers
them United States citizens.  There used to be a
period of waiting while that status was temporary
until the child was old enough (16 or 18) to make a
choice of citizenship I think but I do not know if
that is still in effect.  Any child born in the US can
be considered elligible to play for the US NT programs
right up until he/she has chosen to play for another
countrie's national team.

My guesses would be:

1. Unbalanced schedule makes goal differential less useful (Of course it
also has the same effect on points).

2. Goal differential might be easier to manipulate (teams may find it
advantageous to intentionally allow goals to affect the playoff seeding
and face an opponent of their choice).

3. That's how the other leagues here do it.
