[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed the opposite especially in things like travel baseball which is filled with entitled rich families.

They can't stand to lose and especially [b]can't stand to lose to people who they perceive to spend less on baseball[/b] and who's lives don't revolve around it.  [/quote]

This really burns the up.
They attribute those losses to bad luck.[/quote]
I've heard and seen it all from those people. Baseball parents are the worst. Most are well off and entitled jerks.

The whole club baseball circuit exists so they don't have to play with the more athletic kids (i.e. athletically gifted minorities) who can't afford to spend thousands a year playing baseball.

Wut?  Baseball does not exactly require a ton of athleticism.  I think you’re deeply confused.[/quote]

No, that poster is correct.

Baseball doesn’t require a ton of of athleticism at the younger ages (and paid lessons and training can help younger kids get ahead), but things change a lot by the time high school arrives. There aren’t many spots on the field available for less athletic kids. [/quote]
