I know you cannot produce that post because it goes against everything
I believe. Yes, I would have said sports for kids are very expensive
these days, David introduced soccer for kids here in 1968 when we were
horrified that locally the sports group wanted to raise $3,000 to put
together a baseball team. David said 'send me your kids, I'll bring
a ball and I will send you home tired kids' - they played shirts and
skins and within two years over a thousand kids were playing.
Sadly I was recently horrified to see how expensive soccer for kids
is, not the original, inclusive idea.
