Parents who beg for money so their child can play baseball are trashy

Dear diary, get off my lawn, etc
I'm not donating anything, I don't want a raffle, I'm not sponsoring them either. Pay for your kids if you decide to put them into sports.
I bet a bunch on here beg others for money so your child can play tee-ball

I'm a sucker for a big 50/50 raffle. Plus if the kid is hustling the money I don't mind nearly as much.

those kids will be better off learning the game with rocks and sticks.

what about car washes where they actually work?

I put together a raffle to send my u9 team to Dominican republic this summer
After the flight, it only costs 29$ per kid to be there the entire time

All of the little füts were each on sports teams at one time or another.
I never asked or got any help from anyone else.
I did help paying for some of the other players who were on the teams.
Now, I don't have any markers out there.
I tell folks "negative" when they beg from me.

First, I don't think anyone is making you buy anything. Second, community organizations like little league baseball and pew wee football are all ran by volunteers who give their time and money to children.
In other words frick your way of thinking douchebag.

personally I like the large group of dindus that gather 1 inch from my drivers side window with a raggedy sign saying "give money for school uniforms"

most of them are doing it for their own children... so they can feel like allstars.

I've never seen anyone beg for money for the coaches. Its so their kids can play a sport that they can't afford to put them in. Is it the kid's fault, absolutely not, but make them work for the money don't just hand it to them. A sport should teach work ethics, not handouts.

It's not the kids fault that the parents are poor and trashy

Parents who let their kids panhandle at traffic lights to raise money for their travel basketball teams are trashy.
Way to teach the kids to expect free handouts.

Dear Diary,
I hate people who beg on the corners who are more than capable, half of the time they're scammers anyway. Being a kid begging for it is no different.
Know what I appreciate and like?
Kids who go to places like Advance Auto Parts and simply ask them if they would like to donate supplies and allow them to do car washes on the lot. The one in Belle Chasse is HUGE on helping, you bring the hoses they supply the rags/soap, you see it monthly from sports teams, BCHS teams, even the fire dept and navy go out there to do it. I don't even get a car wash most of the time, but if I have cash on me I donate.

what's wrong with a football board? lots of people like to gamble and pull for their team with the added chance to win some cash? at least the money actually goes to supporting the kids instead of making a casino richer??

When I was a kid playing sports, we always either sold stuff for fund raising or we did work. One summer my team all cut grass every Saturday for 6 weeks. I think we asked for $15 per yard (was in the 70's).
This begging for donations doesn't work for me.

The worst are the ones that come from the bad side of town to sit out front of grocery stores in the good side of town.

I love donating to those community teams.
Travel baseball/softball fundraisers can go suck a giant bag of dicks.

Then sign up at the local playground rec leagues. They could register to play ball at their local playground. JPRD parks charge $4 per season to sign up (to cover insurance cost). Kid can still play ball without having to join a travel team that costs a small fortune to play for.

I can get behind something like that, BBQ, poboy sales, etc., but those wanting something for nothing can go frick themselves

Most of the one's begging are not for "little league" type sports. Its for travel ball teams and most of those have paid coaches.
You want money to travel to Cooperstown to play in a tournament, cut some grass (if your mom is hot and she wants to cut it, I'll double the donation) or wash some cars (again, see my previous comment about involving your mom).
