This is so woefully, indescribably off base it's almost hard to comprehend. We're talking about REC YOUTH sports, it will NEVER go away. THe numbver of people with your mindset (and the crazies who are 10x more extreme than you) is FAR inferior to the regular joe who has an 8 year old and just wants him to get outside and play some sports with his buds.
what you're saying is akin to thinking that the rise of AAU teams the last 20 years is eventually going to eliminate youth basketball.
I'm glad that you equate anyone with a kid playing travel ball has having a mental condition. I gave my honest opinion. I hope it never does. I wish travel ball was never a thing. You can probably find post from me 5+ years ago on this site with a negative slant towards travel ball. As I said in my post, I am not big on it. But I am also not big on my kid playing on a team where 7 kids show up for a game, 5 show up for practice, the lights are not on and there may be 1 umpire there.

No, not really. But continue to try to make attenuated comparisons.

Please show me where I did this. Might be waiting a while.

Well, tell me the differences? AAU is the step above rec league basketball. It's where kids who want to get serious take their skills to improve and play against other kids of higher skill levels. They travel all over, practice far more than normal kids, it costs a great deal more than rec sports. There are nationall AAU tournaments that draw teams from all over america probably every weekend. It's also become somehwat of a feeder system into the good basketball programs. It's actually extremely similar to travel ball.
