The 2021 Major League Soccer SuperDraft took place with all the pomp and circumstance of a Christmas mass, with most appearing out of a sense of duty and a few deciding they have better things to do. The New York Red Bulls took part in the increasingly-downsized ritual more than most clubs, making three selections. These young men head into the professional world, ready to try their luck at living out their dreams. Some will succeed, others will fail, but what’s important is that by denying the rights of these young men to choose the situation that best suits their sporting needs, the league is doing a great disservice to both player and club, hamstringing and hampering development.
