What I think is funny is how people want to hold this league back. There should be a place for up and coming young players to ply their trade. It seems like peoples egos are getting in the way. I hope there is a coaching mandate in place that says only certified and experienced coaches can participate. We have to raise the bar in general if we want to be better period. If that means paid coaches and eventually paid players, so be it.
Not one person has yet come with a GOOD reason why this league is a "farce" other than teams that could potentially not be involved. I didn't witness any of the votes, but I haven't seen any WestVan, Clanbus, Croatia, Langley United, PAU, Gorge, Gordon Head guys spouting off, I have seen some average to poor VMSL Prem guys and D1 guys spouting off about it for their own self centered issues.
