Let me be crystal clear: the only people on the fields are the people
with the means to get there. Parents that have to work multiple jobs
to pay rent cannot take weekends off to drive to tournaments.
Parents who are caring for their own elderly parents cannot leave
town overnight to sleep in hotels away from those they're
responsible for. Parents who cannot afford a car, who live paycheck
to paycheck, are not the parents with children on those fields.
