Originally posted by Unregistered View PostInteresting article but nothing really new I suppose. The real question is would anyone on this forum be open for a surcharge on their club fees to pay for less well-to-do athletes joining the program? I would think not. Would tax payers be willing to pay more taxes to subsidize the same athletes in town programs? Probably not.

Chances are your already subsidize a few scholarships for your kids' club teams. Clubs don't tell you that (unless they do outright fundraising for it) but they usually have a few $ set aside. I don't mind that at all when it's for players in genuine financial need. However, many just use it to attract players they want, often even when the family can afford it. When it comes to school funding for sports it won't be any different than anything else - no way in hell tax payers will pay a dime for something outside their district. I'm a huge proponent of school sports. They give kids a much needed outlet to stay active and engaged.

Sorry but it is not the money that makes the difference it is the family values. Single parents and low income parents don't give a **** what their kids do and are too lazy to take them to sports. Just let them play xbox or look at youtube and leave me alone.
For all the haters yes there are exceptions but we are talking about the trends of a group as a whole.

Thanks for the outrage. I do agree that a lot of higher income families just pawn their kids off on the babysitter. It is a problem for them too.
Call me trump if you want but it is the problem in america today. There are plenty of opportunities for the kids to play if the parents aren't self absorbed or too lazy to get them kids into the program. Everyone wants to blame pay to play but it is the bad parenting that is to blame.
Much like these shooters, everyone blames guns but it is guns, legal drugs, illegal drugs, video games, crazy ass porn that is unrestricted on internet, sick movies and lib teacher agendas brainwashing kids to believe in toxic masculinity and too hate the fact they are white. Basically bad parents again that allow this crap to happen to their kids.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEasy for you to criticize. How do you propose lower income families pay for soccer or other activities? Scholarships are few and far between. Most lower cost town-run programs are over by U14 if not before. Middle school sports is all but gone and HS sports in lower income cities is a travesty. Then there's working multiple jobs to pay the bills who have little free time to get their kids places. They're doing the best they can.
The travesty is not the programs for kids, they ARE available. The travesty is the parents.
