danman31 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Why isn't this in the Sports Bar? This kid won't sign for a few years and even if he does he will be playing on youth teams anyway. A big reason why Adu didn't sign with the European teams was that he wouldn't play much with the senior club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it right for a 9 year old kid to be being contacted by professional sports organziations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because teams are looking at him doesn't mean they've offered him a contract yet. These teams took forever to give Adu offers as it was.

Signing him is a technicality in my eyes. The fact that they are even bothering a 4th or 5th grader just blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah, leave kids at that age alone. Seriously, the last thing they need to think about is contract offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an excellent sketch on my Mr Show DVD where Bob and David portray rival junior college recruiters trying to sign a 5-year-old kid who can barely dribble a basketball.
