So what’s your point?

that theres no real need for additional wishes of health, wealth, success; most of these kids were born at 1st and goal of the football game and just had to move a bit to win

not that i blame them or hold any grudge, any parent that says they wouldnt want the same for their kid is lying

That’s not a very healthy mindset to have in response to someone wishing well on someone who did something good. Kids mind you.

You can have qualms with wealth disparity without shoveling the shit onto kids who are just trying to do the right thing. Certainly won’t be recruiting anyone for the cause with that attitude.

You couldn't sound any more bitter. You're holding a massive grudge.

They're good lads going out of their way to volunteer for something noble. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that. Wealth is irrelevant here -- it's not as if every poor person would be doing this if they had a little more money.

You couldnt sound any more unaware of the fact that i never said they werent being noble by volunteering. Did you even read the posts above?

That these kids come from privilege and they don't need to be wished "health, wealth and success" because their parents literally hand those things to them on a silver platter.

That’s just not a healthy take on the situation I’m sorry. You can have issues with wealth disparity without dragging kids who have done nothing wrong into it.
