6. I've seen both sides

In NYC we did a posh little league baseball and the jock dads really favored their own kids, from what I know beyond the league's own policies. So my kid, who was skilled but one of the youngest didn't get a fair amount of action. On the other hand we did the city rec center flag football and that coach, who was the recreation center director was so nice and really emphasized the fun part, and fielded all the players. That focus on getting every kid into play, paid off and they rose to city rec center flag football champions. The championship was a little sad, the other finalist were from a very poor neighborhood and their adults were just too hyped on trying to get a name for their kids, it was so weird having an opposing grandmother over on our line trash talking our kids.
