Can shake at Rouse's from 10-2...

What in the holy crap? How goddamn white trash is that? Luckily we'll be at a select tournament in NOLA, so I don't have to deal with it...but damn, is a 'can shake' considered fund raising these days? Wash some fricking cars or sell some damn chocolate bars. IDK, I sure as shite wouldn't let my 9 yr old beg for money to play soccer. I can't imagine anyone with dignity allowing that.

I don't ever give money when I see that shite. It's teaching kids to panhandle.

Select must have a different meaning nowadays. Every fricking kid I know is on a "select" team

Seems like they should ask to take the cart out to people's cars and unload groceries then bring the cart back or something. Give me money my parents don't want to pay, that shite work these days?

Amen brother.

All that does is teach kids how to get on welfare.

He's going to finish it out. He's got soccer practice 3 other nights a week though, so he'll make practice when he can.

Rec league is really fun for him though, he plays sweeper. He's a natural forward but in this league he best serves his team as a stopper. He gets every set play and all goal kicks, so he has a hoot out there. Select is a much different beast.

I'm really glad I had no clue what a can shake was until read this.

Better than the fake ones in New Orleans that help fund mom and dad's drug habits

Yeah, I wouldn't let my hypothetical son do that either, and I'd probably raise a stink with the coaches/organizers.
