    History will ultimately note youth sports as the largest contributing factor to the fall of western civilization.

    Soccer doesn't have a best part. It may have a few tolerable part. Maybe. No, fuck it, it doesnt.

    About once year I make this rant. Look at the sports that are on the decline in HS. They tend to be un PC and require the most mental toughness. Football, wrestling, baseball. Lots of failure, lots of tough stretches. No one wants to deal with that. Now look at the sports that are on the rise. They tend to be sports where you can hide and nobody really knows if you failed. Run around for awhile, slide on the ground a couple times and Gramma thinks you did great. Soccer, LaCrosse. I coached HS baseball and football for 15 years. I never saw anyone eat an orange wedge. Ever.

    This country is steadily becoming France.

    You can't hide as a bad player on the field in lacrosse. The offense will find you.

    Otherwise, agree.

    And I was talking about chinfrastructure.

    The oranges get flack here, but we even ate them in high school at halftime in high school football. They were a staple that didn’t really matter what level you were playing at.

    Soccer is an easy sport to play when young, but the coaches demand to specialize in it later on and those select teams and camps are really expensive. Anybody playing soccer after about 12 is paying big money.
    I know a family who's 3rd grader is playing in-state travel soccer, to tune of $2k+.

    That's pretty normal.

    Soccer and basketball being the first culprits. Then when the kid washes out of those sports, LAX travel teams.

    I'm sure your right. I know nothing about LaCrosse. I just know its thriving at baseball's expense. I assumed it was like soccer.

    And maybe I meant Capri Sons. But still.

    Ball movement is like a mix of basketball & hockey. While lacrosse & soccer played on roughly same sized field, the physics of it makes the field seem smaller in lax. Shit moves fast. Plus if you hold onto ball for any length of tim, someone is clubbing your midsection.

    You know who made youth sports a national priority...

    And 4 out of 5 families are getting hosed, because Johnny ain't even getting a glance from the next level.

    You're very lucky, @Swaye. If she has any athletic talent at all, she'll get a scholly somewhere, thanks to Title IX.
    Your first job is to teach her that fat women are gross pigs, no matter what they wear and what she sees on TV, and a healthy body is not 300 lbs., plus. Immunize her against that horrendous Body Positivity bullshit as early as you possibly can.
