Amen! that was my point. The parents are using YJ as a bragging point when the people they are bragging to have no idea the kid is on the low end of the roster, I've witnessed this myself. Just to say kid plays for YJ, be happy with a 5th team placement for thousands of $ spent to still remain there. But oh yes the parents get the sticker and the jacket though. what a trade off!


That is hilarious. This is not restricted to just travel teams. Parents in West Islip wear team jackets like they are still playing. It looks like they have an over 40 team for every sport.


lol that is so true!


But I get the town school spirit stuff (and I'm not from WI) but lets stay with the same example you show up to the WI football game with hundreds of other WI fans, why show up with all the Yellow Jacket apparel? Nobody cares mom and dad and grandma and grandpa and the siblings etc....!
