"Local rich guy pays off school district's lunch debt!"

WHY DOES THAT EXIST!

I cannot stress enough how much this thing pisses me off.

You're making STUDENTS perform on a halftime show of an 'amateur' football game that will make MILLIONS to maybe pay half of their college tuition?!?!

I think that Twitter engagement was mostly casuals who would not answer a survey like this tangentially dipping into something they otherwise don't care about. So you get more voices, but not necessarily invested, helpful, or informed voices. While things are more focused here.

Just because it's women doesn't mean it's somehow a better thing. They both completely suck and are exploitative by design.

Regardless, I think they should've pushed for full inclusion. And they should've really pushed USSF to enforce their rules last year.

This is your likely format, I'd wager:

Rd 1: 32 amateur vs. 32 D3 Pro (18 USL1, 3+11 MLSNP)
Rd 2: 16 vs. 16 Rd 1 winners
Rd 3: 16 Rd 2 winners vs. 16 D2 Pro (16 USLC, likely playoff teams from 2025)
Rd 4: 16 Rd 3 winners vs. 16 D1 Pro (16 MLS, based on their qualification criteria from last year)

There's far too man voters and too many people who use it as ragebait/personal statements instead of, y'know, voting for who deserves to be in the HOF. Insane that people vote Pettite or voted Ortiz but not A-Rod, for example, just not even consistent at all.
