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

I think it's bs. I coached, paid for my own kids as well as paid for other kids on the team....Yeah, OT baller status.

People normally have or can find the money. They simply choose not to find it or spend it on youth sports. Some people view it as a scam to get other people to pay. The parents of one kid I paid for showed up to the park with a new pre-owned vehicle. Uh, I never paid for another kid again.

The worst crap is these high schools. My kids have played high school sports and I hate the raffles, card sales, pine straw sales, etc. always with the shakedowns. I just right a check to cover my kids.
