Sporty families bragging about offers and committing to awful colleges in the middle of nowhere?

[Anonymous]

I need more hate clarification. What if a kid goes to one of these shitty schools and doesn't play sports. Do we hate them and their family the same amount or do we hate them less?

I want to get this right.

Plenty of articles on the hundreds of dying cash-strapped colleges that are predicted to run out of business by Moody’s. The immediate discounts off fake inflated sticker prices is a routine tactic to hustle parents. Coaches tell the parents whatever they want to hear, but the truth is everyone is getting those fake discounts. Larla you have to go to this abysmal college in the middle of nowhere, the coach offered you a $5k scholarship off tuition if you play softball! We only have to pay $25k a year plus room & board! You almost feel sorry for the parents. Then you realize they’re easy marks because their ego is so tied up in being able to brag their good-not-great athlete is “playing at the next level.”

I think these little antidotes say more about your own social circle and socioeconomic level than anything. I have no such stories to share because it’s not my crowd.

If you're gonna pull a snotty attitude, maybe you should proofread first so you don't say "antidotes" when you mean "anecdotes" because it makes you look foolish.

I never said I was smart, I’m just rich.

Now if their kid was born and raised in rural West Virginia? Sure - good for them for going to Glenville! But if there were raised in this area with many other - sorry to say it but better colleges around - yeah, I'm not so impressed.

Really not worried about impressing you PP.

Nobody wants you to be impressed. Can't you just let people be happy even if their happiness is not something that would make you happy.

Not every word out of somebody's mouth is to impress you. It's sad you think it is.

Op you sound jealous

[Anonymous]

I have a friend who has a son that played soccer at a non name no rank college. After he got a job doing something with soccer, not sure what. He flies all over the world.

During world cup after he posted the 100th picture with the top soccer players with his dad along his side... I teased his sister (who is in med school) what do you have to be to be the "favorite" in the family.

He has such an amazing life. So I can see why OP is a little jealous.
