I played on Huffman [Lubbock's existing giant soccer
complex in the NW part of the city] the year it opened, I also played
before it opened. The simple fact is this....the kids don't give a flying crap
where they play, their parents do. This is about taxpayers making soccer Moms
life easier and more convenient, not about the kids.

Pratt responds:
This is exactly what my take on it is. For the most part, kids don’t know they’re poor, or that mom and dad have a “old car", or that the house or furniture isn’t fancy enough, until they hear parents telling them. They damn sure don’t know that the soccer fields are sub-standard – they just run around and play and have fun. It’s adults who do such a disservice to children when they inculcate the attitude of always wanting more and newer things as opposed to gratitude for what they have.
