I know for a fact his son played "daddy ball"
Many people have kids that play it, and hate it. Problem is there aren't any good alternatives.
There's a lot wrong with travel ball, perhaps the biggest problem it creates are unreal expectations for the parents. They convince themselves that years of doing this will get their son a college scholarship. Many of these kids can't even crack the starting lineup on their high school team, and the parents lose their minds.

A scholarship that wouldn't even make up for the amount of money spent on that shite anyway.

My coworker pushes his kids into travel ball. I think the real ambition there is on the parents side, not the kids.
My dad is a CPA and my mom is a teacher. We are white. The likelihood of me getting an athletic scholarship in anything but baseball is pretty slim. I'm glad they figured that out, because I had so much fun playing sports when I was younger once my dad backed off.

Even if they did get one, it will be what, 25% max?
I got a 25% academic scholarship, its as if I had nothing. Still had to pay for the other 75% and college isn't cheap these days.
Still funny that I got to play a sport in college despite having a dad who was very hands off, something that 99% kids with a helicopter dad who pushed them very hard could not accomplish.
