Gear For Sports
There are many families that spend a great deal of money on gear for sports. My family is one of them. It seems that each week there is another trip to the store to buy gear for sports for one of my children. Between the children's school activities and my husband's love of the outdoors, we purchase gear for sports throughout the year.
The schools used to provide gear for sports that the children participate in. Budget cuts and decreased funding for sports now makes purchasing gear for sports the responsibility of each participant. This is difficult for some families on a tight budget and it may mean that their child will not participate in an activity because the family cannot afford the sports gear. Most schools do have scholarships that help with the cost of the gear for sports, but this is often embarrassing for the student so they choose not to participate.
Of the gear for sports that we purchase the most expensive is hockey equipment. Hockey skates alone are very expensive and with growing teenage boys the skate size often changes during one season. We are on first name basis with the owner of the hockey equipment business since we spend so much time and money in his store. An additional cost for gear for sports involves apparel. Often times you do not have to shop for the apparel, but you do have to pay the school for the uniforms. This is usually a rental fee, because the player does not get to keep the gear for sports.
My husband fishes and hunts. This means that our budget for gear for sports needs to include him as well. The gear for sports that he is involved with does get handed down to the children, as he purchases new equipment. The sporting gear industry is very good at creating new and improved gear for sports on a regular basis. This insures that the sportsman is always making additional purchases. It seems that several times each week we have catalogs in the mail that are filled with gear for sports. The gear for sports listed in these catalogs ranges from basic fishing and camping equipment to extremely specialized merchandise. My husband's eyes light up like a child's at Christmas when he gets one of these catalogs specializing in gear for sports.
There are merchants available that handle used gear for sports. This can be a great alternate way to purchase equipment for a child that is trying a sport for the first time. This way you can avoid a huge financial commitment only to find out your child does not like that particular sport. Some of the used gear for sports stores will purchase equipment or sell it on commission. This is a good way of getting rid of gear for sports that you may have accumulating in storage areas.
Poll: If the actors start out wearing sports gear?
can you count watching adult movies as watching sports? I mean if it starts out as a co-ed basketball game. How cares if they wind up in the locker room?
.....what if they start out wearing cassocks ??

I was really looking forward to Vail, but I'm not going to spend my time and money to move to something that has less features. Shame on you M$.
Hi Jimbo-
I agree with you. To implement effective programs like customer forums or online reviews, companies must allocate the correct amount of resources in people, time and money to do it right. And to your point, they must be “passionate” folks who interface with the customers directly –not someone with a stoic attitude. Thanks for your insights! Brian.
This is a very serious thing and there have been many companies that have tried to produce a protective gear for sports and especially for lacrosse players. T

Not to presume, especially on someone else's blog, but perhaps Curt meant to address me. I did have a small grant from the Program for Cultural Cooperation–some kind of arm of the Spanish government in consort with US academicians–to spend time and money in Barcelona. The very positive side was that I got to go. The negative, if one can call it that, was that I had only a couple of months and not enough time or money to go to anywhere outside of Barcelona. I've long wanted to go to Vic, Girona, the Pyrenees, etc., but never had both time and money.
And, Curt, if you're still interested in a discussion of aprisio articles on your blog, and patient enough to wait still longer…

time and money means time X money.
time or money means time + money.
