@o0xst: Kids just want to play ball, man but now even that’s been carved up and sold off. i9 Sports used to be about getting kids outside, learning teamwork, having fun. Now it’s owned by Roark Capital the same kind of outfit that turns everything into a revenue stream and suddenly it’s fees, upsells, uniforms, packages… all stacked so high regular families get priced out. You took something simple and good and squeezed it until only the comfortable can afford it. Kids don’t need a private equity playbook they need a field, a ball, and a chance.
