Trolling aside, youth basketball in the U.S. has increasingly become pay to play

A lot of these kids are getting priced out. I was just talking to one of my uncles, he was trying to sign one of his sons up for AAU and how shocked he was when he found out the cost

Even if they aren’t mixed, that drive isn’t there at times because they know they have a soft landing regardless. I will never forget Michael Irvin saying that anytime he got scared to catch a ball across the middle he would take a split second to remind himself that, he doesn’t want to return to the ghetto.

myself raising a kid in the top one percent in this country, I see how it impacts him and things other than sports. It’s a fukking battle

You’re saying you make in the top 1%? Or he’s one of the top 1% athletically? If it’s the former I didn’t realize you were making that much :ehh:

They don't know what it's like not to have like you so you have to expose them as much as possible to all walks of life to show them that their situation growing up is NOT the norm. Especially being black.
