Would also like to point out that her first hand account of the Iowa incident that she posted on the WFU website has been taken down.

 
never heard of her before, but it sounds like we should fire this clown
 
Just FYI. I accidentally learned that my Google Home responds to just "Hey Goo" now. A bit of a timesaving lifehack for yall.

Try it out and give me a pos if it works or a neg if it doesn't. But please let me know either way.
 
parents, what is the best/worst sport for your kid to play?

use whatever criteria you want
 
Best: Baseball because #Murica
Worst: Soccer cause who the fuck would want to watch children playing that
 
Yeah, a coworker's son is an elite hs baseball player. So glad we're not doing that. Definitely worse than soccer.
 
I swam at the neighborhood pool in the summers and it was a great activity, but from a parent's perspective the meets are like four hours long and your kid is in the pool a total of like five minutes tops

Yeah, but that's not really competitive swimming. That's like rec league.

In real swimming, you practice about four times as much, year round, and are in the pool for like five minutes tops at meets.

baseball seems brutal from a parent spectator perspective

year round basically and enormous time commitment

Last summer they went to a national tournament in Atlanta for four weekdays. Probably about 100 degrees in the bleachers.
 
i dunno, the soccer/field hockey people are stuck with endless 'tournaments' with multiple games per day

my kids are doing municipal and HS sports only; none of this travel team shit.

My aunt almost divorced my uncle over the brutality of travel baseball. Kids enjoyed it a lot, but they were committed like 3-4 days/week year round with at least one two week long trip per year.
