A sports parent ramble…

I went on a bit of a tweet-tear this morning, might be easier to read in this form: — Youth sports is a machine now. It’s a money making engine. And it’s not just baseball; many of you parents do it for soccer, cheer, dance, lacrosse, swimming, basketball, etc. I am fully aware that my…
