[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Most travel sports don’t cost anywhere close to $10,000. Don’t be stupid. And who cares if an adult starts feeling lost in life at 30 or 40 years old? What about the lawyer in golden handcuffs who realizes at 35 that he hates his job and his life, but what the heck is he going to do now? It’s no different, so stop pretending that it there is some sort of unique let down for athletes.[/quote] I spend 25k/year on my 15 years old to play tennis. That includes lessons, tournaments, travels, etc... I also spend 40K/year on my 17 years old play golf year round. Yes, it is expensive.[/quote] We’re talking about legitimately accessible team sports here, obviously, not sports that have a long and storied history of (generally) being for the wealthy elite. Your anecdote is no more relevant to this conversation than how much it costs to stable your daughter’s pony.[/quote]
