re: I don’t get dripping $1000’s on kid’s travel ball in hopes of a scholarship

1) If these parents legitimately care about a college scholarship then they better hope the kid gets one for baseball because he’s not going to get one through academic means based on the weak cognitive genes of his parents who don’t understand how a mutual fund works

2) Most parents use the idea of a scholarship to justify living vicariously through their children. If they actually cared about their kid they’d promote a broad range of activities to prepare them for life outside of the home, where being well-rounded is valuable and being an average middle infielder isn’t considered
