In the eyes of a parent, never, because they almost always view their kids as better than they actually are. I think parents blame political connections for their kid's failure to make a team at a rate exponentially higher than it actually occurs....it's always easier to blame someone else.


You are assuming that this sentiment comes from disgruntled parents who's kid didn't make the team. To give you another perspective, many people believe the politics exsist and their kids are the strong core of the team and wonder why weak kids get picked up or remain on teams. Politics do exist and evryone can see them in action on just about every team, not just outcasted player's parents.
