The Art of Begging…
For those of you expecting this to be an offshoot of The Art of Pitching, it is but it isn’t. I’m not talking about begging for capital but i’m talking about begging. I don’t understand why it’s not okay for people to beg on the streets but if you are a baseball team, it’s okay to send 10 years out on in the middle of the highway with a bucket to buy uniforms. It makes no sense to me how that is socially acceptable but begging on the street is not. So a drunk wants a new beer and a kid wants a new uniform - it’s the same recreational purpose! Additionally it’s fucking dangerous for kids to beg in the middle of the street, it is just wrong and should stop. Personally I don’t care if people beg, just leave the dam kids out of it. If you can’t afford your kids uniforms, you hit the streets, don’t send them. And for coaches that arrange this it is just shameful. Have a car wash, sell cookies or something but a bucket and a highway, come on. I don’t care how successful it is, it is just pain wrong. Additionally for those parents and coaches that support it, I hope you’re also supporting your local drunk and crack addict! Your encouraging the same behavior in your kids!
