@bryanrbeal I was at Home Depot on Memorial Day - it was crazy packed.
English
I don’t care what the “official” statistics tell you, when you go to a Home Depot on Memorial Day and you don’t see a single other soul in the entire store, something is wrong with the economy
English
@TheDave25 @SeanTPendergast This is all false in the soccer world.
English
@nichouston @SeanTPendergast Nope. Those days are gone.
Shit teammates
Bad facilities
I’m assuming the high school didn’t have a ball team though cause that would be the best option
English
While travel ball is expensive, I’m guessing the kid had a lot of fun, made friends, and learned valuable life lessons via sport. Also I’m guessing the parents enjoyed watching their son. Not everything needs to be viewed by comparing the ROI to a mutual fund.

I talked a dad who told me he spent $10k a year on travel baseball between tourneys, travel, and gear for his son. He got a partial scholarship to D-2 school. If he had put the $10k in a mutual fund each year, he would have had about $190,000. The scholarship was $5k a year.

@nichouston @csoptick @SeanTPendergast It's absolutely not the same.
My kids did both, travel and rec. I'm on the board of the local rec league.
Kids have fun playing local rec. For 8 weeks. Friendships are formed for sure.
But travel teammates- those are YOUR BOYS. Life time friends. Same with the families.

@SeanTPendergast @02wildcat Falling into the trap of these youth sports pyramid schemes that produce very very few pro athletes or college scholarships, it’s just big business taking advantage of the kids and the clueless parents but I’m the asshole…ok
English
@SeanTPendergast @02wildcat Calm down. I currently have two in youth soccer, one in rec and one on an elite travel team that we spend about $15k a year but I am also fortunate enough to be putting about $7.5k every year into each on my kids college savings account. I’m just trying to help parents…

@SeanTPendergast @csoptick The truth hurts sometimes, confirmed.
English
@nichouston @csoptick No he doesn’t sound like that at all Nic 😂😂😂 … now, you DO sound like an asshole. I can confirm that. Have a great night. 😂
(Also, miraculously I put my kids thru TCU, Baylor and Harvard all at the same time.)
English
@02wildcat @SeanTPendergast Just excuses for delusional parents thinking their kid is going pro and living vicariously through their kids peon success in youth sports. Grow up and open up a 529 Mr CFP.
English
@nichouston @SeanTPendergast I'm a HUGE fan of rec ball and it certainly has it's place even today, but to be honest, I don't think you get the same camaraderie as you do with your travel ball friends - especially those times spent at tournaments, eating meals together, going out of town, etc.
English
@csoptick @SeanTPendergast It is the same. Kids can make friends, have fun and learn life lessons with the walks and dads coaching. You sound like the average delusional dad spending $10k a year on your kids youth sports while saving zero for their college education cos your kid is going pro. DELUSIONAL!!!
English
@nichouston @SeanTPendergast Ain’t the same. Rec ball is walks, daddy coaching, and parents looking for cheap babysitting

We need to have a serious discussion about how to fix these teen takeovers.
Nearly EVERY time, the crowd is OVERWHELMINGLY Black, but we are not allowed to notice that because that's racist...
...so how do we fix this?
Seriously, what is the ACTUAL solution here???
