I would guess this drastically expedites the push to a collective bargaining agreement in college sports.

By this logic, no laws should be enforced.

Insane.

@GG_Jayce @Tekeee Ah now we see why you can’t afford a 401K

The easiest answer to this is, don’t outsource your child’s development.

Find like-minded parents who know the sport & create your own experience.

We talked to nearly 100 people about youth sports in New Jersey and found a predatory industry that is leaving parents broke, exhausted and wondering how the games of their childhood took over their adult lives. Our six-month investigation: https://t.co/plE3w618qt

@DennyChadHalen @SeanTrende @bethanyshondark Parenting issue

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

Yall making this way too hard.

Yes, travel sports can be a wasteland, & there are a million decisions along the way.

But just be a good parent who enjoys your kids outside of sports, teach them their identity isn’t tied to sports, & ground them in humility.

They’ll be fine.

@bkrudy @SowellsTaker You mean like this?

Id recommend reading the article instead of just the headline. Grade retention is a lot different than intentionally holding your kid back early.

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@bkrudy @SowellsTaker I will say, if you really want to give your kid an advantage… hold them back before 1st grade, not 8th.

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@bkrudy @SowellsTaker First of all, not everyone is doing it. So there is still an advantage.

Second of all, who really cares about one year? All this pearl clutching so you can get a job one year sooner?

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@bkrudy @SowellsTaker So your answer is to… be younger?

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@bkrudy @SowellsTaker Yes and the older you are, the better in their eyes.

@Adam_Mares Start your own “club” team. The answer isn’t that hard (or expensive), it just required work.

Am I crazy or did @spencerpratt just have one of the most impressive debate performances… maybe ever?

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@chriscfore @rpdunn8 Ya but not really.

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@chriscfore @cburgner Not really.

@drantbradley You have told them both to quit. Because you are too dense or naive to understand how these things work.

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@drantbradley - my son plays what you would consider to be “travel baseball”

She’s on a team… with his friends… from his school

He practices… 1-2/week… in our neighborhood

He plays… 0-2 games per week… 5-30 min away

He takes breaks throughout the year.

[Kyle Smith 🦬 @kylesmith6]

@drantbradley Uh oh. There you go again…

Reading comprehension my friend.

I’ve been vocal against being against specialization. (See earlier tweets tonight about diversification)

Keep trying.
