One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

One team attempted some gamesmanship that caught everyone by surprised. When it threatened the sport's integrity everyone got together and decided to put their common interest first.
But that's a dull story innit. True, but dull.

Maybe just cut the ballooning section? I know there's an "art" to making all those little animals but it's a bit gimmicky. Not high art like, oh, I don't know, a Damien Hirsch cow in a box.
