Maybe we shouldn't treat children as more mini athletes. Maybe capitalism has ruined amateur sport. Maybe community support for each other is important. And fun. Reading this while reading about kids who only have one meal a day because of school lunch and then deal with racial violence is an appalling contrast to the middle class dream in this gentrified town in Vermont. I also can hardly imagine parents of children who play sports internationally letting them work and pay their way (compared to the Girls in pretty boxes book???) In conclusion. I'm glad I was allowed to be mediocre at sports and live in a small town.
