Back in the day, if our team wanted to raise money, we actually did something like hosting multiple car washes.

These days it's give me the cash, I ain't doing shite!

I blame the parents. If you can't afford to send your kid to the "World Series" or play travel sports then don't play.

Yep, I saw a team panhandling in Seaside, FL.

It took everything I had not to roll the window down and tell them to learn to wash some cars for cash.

In fricking Seaside?

You should have asked: Do you live around here? If yes, tell them to spend their own money.

I agree 100%

It's like the parents expect everyone else to pay for their kid's hobbies. Just like a bunch of damn democrats.

Back in the day you probably traveled from Denham Springs to Lake Charles and thought you did something amazing with your little league team of fat dumb arse kids.
Things are a little different these days.

But yeah, I agree that you all are raising annoying lazy kids too.

Nah..

We did shite like travel to Houston & Atlanta for tourneys and hit Astros & Braves games in the evenings as a team, but we raised it by actually doing something tangible other than just holding a hand out.

I didn't know this happened - they should be working for it not begging. We did the car wash thing but had much better luck with running a neighborhood lawn mowing service.

I won't give a penny to any group raising money at an intersection since it disrupts the traffic flow.
