My timeline is flooded by Europeans realizing that American high school and college student athletes frequently play in better constructed and better maintained facilities than top level professional European athletic teams, it’s funny and sad
@colincowherd On all levels of morning sports tv programming, thousands of Americans sit daily through dreadfully awful opinions, about boring and irrelevant sports, for hours on end to melt their brain. I'm personally not interested in that but I can appreciate that level of devotion.
Youth sports (particularly hockey and baseball) are the single biggest scam in the United States today.
Go ahead and completely skip travel ball. Your kid isn't playing in the MLB or NHL. Save your money, time, and headaches with all the nonsense. Reclaim your weekends, parents
Sandlot it ain't.
Youth sports now $40 B industry:
"Teenagers on travel teams are rolling into weekend tournaments wearing a few thousand dollars of apparel, equipment & swag. Avg family spending on baseball increased nearly 70% between 2019 and 2024."
