Youth basketball players are comically obnoxious in 2023. Im all about having fun Archived Message

But the screaming and yelling is absurd Previous Message I take my daughter walking every day at the YMCA walking track above the gym. There is usually a pickup game or two going on down below. So many kids, some as young as 10, think they need to scream at the top of their lungs every time they make a basket or block a shot. Even with headphones on, it's annoying to me. 10x worse than just annoying for my sound-sensitive daughter. Then, there is this one little $%^& who lets out a high pitched scream anytime someone he is guarding gets ready to take a shot. They wouldn't get away with the screaming in the pool or workout area. Why is it okay in the gym? [rant over]
