Should HS Soccer Teams be required to have photo id's for players like Club Teams? 

Only if every other player in every other UIL event (not just sport) had to show one before a game or contest.

Soccer gets scrutinized enough as it is by the suits in Austin.  No other sport has suspension rules like soccer does for its yellow and red card count.  Can you imagine the uproar from the basketball coaches if there was a proposal to suspend a player if he had fouled out of three contests throughout the season.

hmmm.... well they should.... but you might find that alot of schools might not have the kind of numbers afterwards...

;D  That's wrong!  Just plain wrong!    ;D

i do know this... i graduated in 2001, and in 2003 went back to watch a game. the ref, who had officiated me dozens of times during my high school career, was surprised when he saw me in street clothes, and asked why i wasn't playing.  it would have been pretty easy to cheat, had i and the coach wanted to.  i also know when we played some houston schools in tourneys there were foreign born players who looked like they might be 30.  i think this would be a good idea, because it wouldn't affect the game in a negative way.  it would, however, ensure fairness in competition.

Yeah I think that they would be an improvement, but for UIL to make at least 1,000 ID's, doesn't sound like something that they would do unless there was a huge surge in the number of atheletes who were illegally playing soccer for a highschool, or there was the switch of uniforms in the state tournament. Because that is the only way it would get recognitition and the need for those cards realized.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.

      JoeBama Administration Gives NGOs Millions To Facilitate Immigration Invasion!

      By Reagan · Posted

      @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
