-Dads invested (overinvested?) in their kids’ lives
-Displays of patriotism
-People spending money like it’s their last days on earth
-Kids getting to the park in American trucks (if riding with dad) or American SUVs (if riding with milf)
-Outdoor, social activity
-Kids of all different races competing, and only performance is rewarded.. no affirmative action
-No SJWs or virtue signaling

Hard to believe one of the OT’s favorite vices is the last bastion of normalcy



The American Way

Huh????
My son gets rings when his team is the winner of the losers bracket. Basically placing 7th in a 12 team tourney. It happens ALL THE DAMN TIME.

Every dad I know that has kids in travel ball realize that it was the worst mistake of their lives. They are so happy when a tourney gets cancelled. $500-$600 a weekend of misery is what I was told

Hell, yeah. Every weekend is the World Series. Had four different groups of parents with kids on four different teams who won their tournaments this weekend “undefeated”. All those young’uns were sporting rings.

It's all worth it when you're sitting in the owner's box at the World Series

Depends on where you have to travel. A weekender where you have to pay for lodging & meals the whole weekend, gas, concession foods, etc. and you can drop $500 with no problem. Hell, even a relatively local tourney and it's $100/$150 with ease for a Saturday all day & a family meal with the team parents.
