OK I read it. I'm amused by the shaming.

They don't touch on how elite teams full of wealthy mediocre talent use those funds to "scholarship" talented but less fortunate players.

The article also fails to touch on how some of the most talented professional players oftentimes come from the most impoverished parts of the country. Ain't no travel ball in Muck City.
