And WOW the world of competitive baseball is so conservative. I keep it about the kids, I focus on improving their strengths and fixing their weaknesses while ignoring their parents who wear 1776 and blue stripe t-shirts. IDGAF what you believe, I'm there for the kids... but I'm positive half the parents would walk from the team if they found out I WASNT a freeDUMB fighter.
At tournaments you see trucks, LOTS of truck in the parking lots, half of them with either a flag or a trump pumper sticker...people walking around wearing trump merch...WTF...you go to your kids games to spread your propaganda....what the actual fuck is wrong with some people? I dont remember any political bullshit when I was growing up and travelling around the state playing, but maybe thats cuz I was too busy being young and having fun...
sorry, had to vent. Us in the land of the living have that privilege...
My son plays college baseball. Baseball is a very conservative sport. That said, the cut throat world of national politics is nothing compared to the world of travel/club and high school baseball. We had to deal with it for years and now my son is still playing while most of the local “studs” and coach’s pets are out of the game. Best of luck!
I had coached boys baseball as well, pre-Trump. I'm sure all those same assholes were there, but I don't think they started wearing their shit like billboards till Trump emboldened them.These shitty (racist) people have always existed, they just didn't feel comfortable sharing their views and outright stupidity until recently. In a way I'm glad because they've all ID'ed themselves. I just take note of who's who so I know who the traitors are.
