From high school sports to AAU basketball, the financial burden of supporting young athletes can be overwhelming, leaving many parents feeling desperate and broke. But is this by design? We delve into the world of sports and politics, examining the ways in which youth athletics are structured to benefit everyone except the families who invest their time, money, and energy.
