Media - what is it good for…

There is a great article in the NY Times about Jorge Flores of Chivas USA.  It points to something I talked about before: there is great untapped soccer talent in the US in the form of immigrant kids or kids of immigrants.  The article actually downplays the potential of drawing a lot of kids from this demographic but I think the article is wrong on this count.  The problem is that organized youth soccer in the US is not picking these kids up (I know they are trying) which is a shame.  I am convinced this demographic could help US soccer in a big way.  I am hoping the Seattle MLS franchise is wise to this and manages to get more kids from this demographic on to youth teams and subsequently into the MLS.
