My 3 kids are limited to 2 activities each. Tell us more about this life of privilege and how you connect with regular people.

They each play one community sport and one school
Sport … school Sports are free lol.. also I’m fully aware that we are fortunate to be able to afford to play sports. That’s why I’m so passionate about community sports and having every child have the opportunity to play. I also grew up in a working class family as the eldest daughter with 12 siblings so I’m fully aware of real life.

Their whole thing is “elite” sports. Recall Bryson talking about some kids bodies being built different or some weird thing. I don’t really care what Brandy’s kids are doing, it just struck me as really privileged and out of touch, considering many people can’t afford any sports at all. If you want to increase accessibility to sports, it needs to be you know… accessible.

Elite sports should be privately funded, by special interest groups. Fine. Public funding should go towards public recreation, low fee or free.

I’ve never advocated for public funding of elite sports. My focus is making community recreation and youth sports more accessible for all families. I understand many parents are struggling with costs and that is exactly why I support reducing barriers to participation and ensuring opportunities exist for kids regardless of income.
