Our biggest problem is that boys want to grow up to be Bryce Harper or Drew Brees or LeBron James.

Why is this still a thing people are saying

Because they don't know any better. The same people then say things like this:
quote:

Until they want to be the next Christian Pusilic, we're not going to have an elite men's team.

Were there not kids growing up wanting to be the next Alexi Lalas or Landon Donovan? Again it comes down to a lack of developmental opportunities for talented players in the US. Pulisic had elite level coaching his entire life, a love of the game, and two athletic parents who provided great guidance.

quote:

The USWNT is able to compete at the highest level.

Oh and how that's even changing. Again it goes back to development.
