Why would the parent of a JV level caliber player believe their kid made some elite team? Of course it starts with the high school coach is a moron. Maybe it's the parents who are morons.
You don't feel bad when you die. Only the people around you are hurt. The same is true with stupid.
There are plenty of delusional parents that will be suckered in to big promises such as the purported dirtbag organization using these kids to fund the true showcase teams. In the end the integrity should fall on the organization that should know better.
There was some complaints by parents of the local jr American legion team that their funds were being used to fund the Sr. American legion team's weekend trips out of town. Personally I didn't care because all I had to pay for my son to be on the Jr. Amercian Legion team was $350 for the summer which is extremely inexpensive.
