Subject: Pop Warner Rip Off
Written By: danootaandme on 12/02/07 at 8:32 am
So the city midget Pop Warner team has made it to the playoffs in Florida. They managed to make enough money to take the trip, because although they are young and worked hard to get to the finals, the finals are really only open to those who can afford to get there, and,it is also required that the team stay in the Disney Hotels. The real reason for all this isn't for the teams or players, if it was they wouldn't require all these kids to lose a week of school. The "Super Bowl " just happens to coincide with a very slow time on the resorts schedule. Let's face it. What this is really all about is making money for Disney by having these teams pay to go to a venue where they can be scouted at an early age, and pay for the "priviledge". School sports are a cut throat business at the youngest levels, you have to believe that there are bets being placed on these games as we speak.
