According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.
President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.
Sadly, the Buy Canadian movement has extended to Canadian youth sports where some clubs are boycotting Trump's America.
Story in my youth sports newsletter, Good Game...

One Canadian volleyball club call just announced it would forgo travel to the U.S. this year. Other clubs are thinking the same.

When I referee, the amount of times I hear youth players say quietly: "Shut up Dad" or "Shut up Mom" when they yell things form the sidelines is almost every time the parent yells.
The players absolutely hate it, don't do it.
Good for you, not easy for every kid to do.
Bravo. Your daughter is very lucky.
Love this. Sounds like he was the perfect sports dad.
A young athlete anxiously glancing at their parent in the stands. Lost confidence and joy.
These are just a few of the ramifications of sideline coaching.

Latest Good Game on the cruelty of youth sports tryouts...and how to fix them

Ok, football decision. How lame.
βWhat is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. Heβs also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be βpickedβ IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!β
Trump is now meddling in the NFL draft

Thanks so much for reading and sharing!
Kids and parents are increasingly defined by youth sports. What happens when they burn out? Or don't grow?

Insanity!
She looks like the strongest one out there!
The ridiculousness of youth sports can be summed up by the fact that we pay gate fees on top of tournament fees without wincing.
Who else is guilty?
Yeah. This is a subscription-cancellation worthy piece and headline.
The fact that 11.4% of parents believe their kid has the ability to go pro underscores so many issues in youth sports.
I wrote on this and more from last week's @aspeninstitute.bsky.social Project Play Summit.
Per the just released State of Play Sport Parenting survey, parents spend an average of 3:23 daily on youth sports. Be it laundry, communication, team parent duties, etc.
Club-hopping is super common in youth sports. I wrote on the few reasons to leave and the numerous reasons to stay.

That's so sad. Too common. Wish there was a way to remove the kid and just let the dad take swings and try to relive his youth.
OMG, how did I not list @fitz-ff.bsky.social as no. 1. Totally fail by me. π³
