The whole thing is as close to a cult as I've seen.

I’ve worn a chain every day of my life for decades. But it’s silver, not gold. Also it’s small.
But I’m from Baker so it’s sort of a requirement to always remind myself that there’s always a little trashiness inside of me.

I was a happy camper when both my kids decided it wasn’t for them after a few seasons.
The football parents are much cooler and laid back.

Of course the brand is called Jaxxon.
That's straight out of an SNL skit.

Why does travel ball always get so much hate on this site? Almost every sport has a version of it now....and it really all started with soccer. Flag football, soccer, AAU basketball, golf, baseball (of course) all do it.
FWIW I get it. It's not necessary to fly around the country playing the best competition at 8 years old. My question is why is all the hated directed towards only baseball?

That boy needs to be worrying about his spin rate and elbow angle more than girls anyway

If you don’t see the problem you are most likely part of said problem when it comes to how ridiculous kids sports have become over the last 20+ years
Or you don’t have kids who play / have played sports

When it became every swinging dick to start a team. It's just so oversaturated with kids getting rings and parent "happily" bitching about being at the field 24/7. It used to be the really good kids playing travel. Now it's anyone simply to avoid playing rec ball.
I get it, and I don't get it. It's just an easy target to hate on.

Because with travel baseball, it's been co-opted into becoming more of a status symbol for the parent as opposed to the kid.

The same can be said about competition cheer and competition dance teams!

Youth sports has been “over trophied” since I was playing soccer and baseball in the 70s and 80s.
But it got ridiculous when real travel became a thing.
The Houston and D/FW areas each have close to 8 million people in the greater regions now. There are way more teams than enough to play locally without driving to Birmingham or wherever for some money grab tournament.
Volleyball has started to get just as bad.

Travel ball moms tend to be status conscious dullards who give their kids stupid names. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of hot ones. But these women are pretty basic.
Travel ball dads are typically living vicariously through their kids, and/or delusional about said kid's athletic ability. And they are cucks for going along with the stupid names their wives gave the kids.
