re: Your daily dose of white guilt from ESPN - "travel ball excludes poor blacks"

That is racist as hell.
Played travel my whole life in the Detroit area. Income doesn't matter if you are good. Money only matters if you aren't good and just wanna go to a bunch of camps and have people "rank" you. Nothing to do with race. But apparently rich=white and poor=black. I hate people sometimes.

Little League cost on average about $5 per player for 5 months of baseball.
Season ends, set up a batting cage at home or pitching net...play sandlot...you can play year round basically for free.
Pony League costs about 40 bucks.
Baseball is free in high school.
Travel ball - from a CBS article:
For the 9-year-old, the parents pay about $4,000 for baseball.
The normal route to success in baseball - hard work, local play, high school is still cheap as shite.
There's nothing about baseball that forces people out.
Only this bullshite travel ball greedy promotion promising glory hunter parents that their kid needs it.
If black kids are being priced out of a baseball league full of delusional glory hunter parents who can't see the forest for the trees...well then black folks are the lucky ones for not wasting their money.

Good point. I coach jv high school now and there are twice as many "travel" teams as their were 10 years ago. Parents just wanna pay for glorification and not actual success.

What's the deal with all of these 9-year-olds running around with fingers full of rings?

First team I played for I was the token white kid. Played like 5 minutes a game. They made us all go shake cans at a walmart so we could pay for jerseys. Said frick them the next year and went play with a team that could actually pay for its uniforms. Our team of white kids shot our way from 3 into AAU nationals in Disney World. It was a blast

Why ain't inner city kids trying to get drafted out of high school?

Fair enough
But I grew up poor most of my life and middle class for a few years, and my family made it work. Granted my travel team was sponsored.

It's a shame the Undefeated are such cowards that they don't have the balls for a comment section. The mothership's articles all have comments, what makes their drivel special?
Then again it would be nothing but people calling out their race-baiting garbage.

That's hockey and lacrosse too, just racist. Any sport not conducted by a city park and REC in inherently racist

Let me preface this by saying I did not read. I took one look, and nothing could compel me to read this. If there was a grand prize of $20,000 and a brand new sports car awarded to anyone who read this article completely, I still would not read it. However, I did skim through it, hopefully that will suffice.
1. Andrew McCutchen didn't get to play travel ball. That's supposed to be a big deal. 2013 NL MVP Andrew McCutchen. #Change
2. They also go on to cry about academics amirite? Well, their boy did sign a LOI with Florida, but like most every high draft pick, he weighed his options and then chose to go pro. Poor guy. #White privilege
3. I guess all the black athletes in the NBA, who are getting stupid retarded money thrown at them from all directions.. I should shed a tear for them because they didn't play baseball? #Triggered
4. My post, with zero research at all, is still more intelligent than the article. Minorities and liberals, they both could care less about baseball. A lot of white conservatives don't even like baseball. The mantra of a SJW is to blow up their cause and shove it down our throats every second of the day (like ferguson). This douche is really wasting his time.#TLDFR

I didn't read either but this article sounds worse than gersh kuntzman's article about at-15's and how it gave him ptsd
