Typical problem, rich kids get everything and the poor kids get what’s left over.
Nothing left you see what they did to the Indians
How can a school district sit by and watch and indoor track team running in the hallways of the school for practice!
As far as i'm concerned, rich kids should have to try twice as hard because they have opportunity and privilege that others don't. Many become politicians that have never learned the value of anything.
That is unacceptable. I am so heartbroken to hear this. Can’t the suburban schools that are well off, build their own training facilities in regards to track and field? Why is the city Council, or whoever is in control of the athletic facility allowing this to happen?
Good for them for speaking out. Goverment needs more like them
It's like a time-share, where the poor never get to use on Christmas Holidays.
Only the affluent use, but poor & low mid class pay. HAD ENOUGH?
Just more of the typical hypocrisy of so-called sportsmanship.
More white hate
WTF! These kids are being treated like cattle!
The suburbs have the space and the money to build their own facilities! Where are the city kids exactly supposed to go, bus out beyond the suburbs???
🎯💯🎯💯
The parents in the suburbs should call Brett Farve.
I think the more important issue is this: what is meant for lower-income working class communities going to affluent suburbs instead! Reverse Robin Hood. What's new? Poor subsidize the rich.
Are you poor?

Imagine working two full time jobs and still do not make enough money to pay for a place to live and food to eat at the time. Not to mention, imagine the individuals who are looking down on you for working those jobs.

I heard a guy that I have proclaimed as the white Malcolm X when it comes to giving a speech called "Wake Up White America" it had a quote that said "In the US we have standardized test, but we don't have standardized resources. " IDK his name.
Hey if poor kids did not want to be poor they should been born to richer parents. It sad how poor people can't see hard work and effort it takes for a trust fund baby to crawl out of a rich koochie.
Outstanding sarcasm!!
Slow clap👏🏿.👏🏿.👏🏿.
Hey if assholes don't want to be assholes ... well just don't be one !
some things never change.....the well to do suburban kids are catered to while the city kids are left the dregs. Perhaps getting home late for dinner is the price the suburban kids should shoulder so the city kids can receive their due.
This is crazy back in the 90's when the Reggie Lewis was first built. All the Boston highschool was practicing there. I am from Cambridge even are coach bus over there for a few practices. When they had the highschool national all week long we all in there practicing. If this is so that is sad. That facility was built for the Boston kids to practice and work out
The man that this center was named after would have lost his mind if he was still living to hear about this. Reggie Lewis grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Baltimore and was able to thrive due to programs that the city of Baltimore had for him and other to play sports and stay out of trouble....which is why this center exists in Boston. This is wild to me.....
Excellent and essential reporting thank you
A simple case of, "Follow the money."
Yes, this selfish mindset seems to be in too many states! 🤦♀️
The hardest thing to do, it seems, is to leave others alone to get on with their lives.
There is nothing selfish here. They already get their allotted time.
America is the only nation among advanced ones that chose to do without health care and insurance coz black people too would be entitled and eligible! That must be a trans generational dislike and disdain! Wow!!
@@martinissa1931 We aren't communists.
Not gonna lie. I went to a suburban high school. We practiced in hallways for track. This was also 25 years ago and my hometown isn't/wasn't very affluent.
Disgraceful.
Do better Boston.
...and the facility is named after Reggie Lewis. Tragic but not surprising. :(
Boo hoo you're getting home late. WELL YOU SPEND AN HOUR COMMUTING..... How is that BPS problem? Tell the kids to stay in the burbs & run thru THEIR SCHOOL HALLS...
Instead of bickering over one facility, why not just build another for the suburbs?
This is literally OKC as well. Except we start early and end early and our after school activities do not have a bus for the kids to be able to go home. So our teams might not even have a quarter of the kids able to practice. But, the suburban schools provide these buses to their kids all the time.
Schools would benefit with a trade program then they could build.....
That's not cool!!

Let the city high schools use the Reggie Lewis center. It’s egregious they don’t have access during convenient times. Though I didn’t run track, I played basketball and I have fond memories of running the halls and steps of my junior high school after practice. And fonder memories of running the corridors surrounding the Palestra after college bball practice.
They ARE allowed to use it, between 2:30-4pm.
@@DarthVader1977 330 which is just as ridiculous
@@charis4me That's their allotment, do you think they deserve MORE time than suburban schools?
@DarthVader1977 they'll destroy it
@@DarthVader1977 Yes. It was built for them.
It’s so normal to us here, that we never thought it was a problem. We are so used to making something out of nothing that it’s sad we do see the issue. Hard to see the forest through the trees
Sad because they collect and use your tax dollars
😮😮😮
Sports will win out over crime.
Not sure I completely follow this one. I grew up running the halls for track as the weather prevented running outside for the first several weeks of track and we had no indoor facilities beyond the hallways. Then we switched to running outside when the weather broke. I never considered it an injustice.
These students were promised the same access to the Reggie Lewis facility, as part of use of state funds to build it.
We used to play football without padding and now...
The difference is, you used it as an option when weather prevented outdoor practice, not as your primary practice location. This facility was built under the guise the district would get usage, but in actuality, the more affluent suburbs are prioritized. The only times really given to the school is at a time when students can't get transportation there bc they're in school.
Really? That's WHY they built the facility, genius. So they WOULDN'T have to train in hallways. But the state built the facility and now the very students it was built for are being shut out of it so richer suburbs that can afford their own facility can save that money by monopolizing the one built FOR the poorer children.
Erin MURPHY, not MURRAY
By the way this isn't the only program that does this. But I guess because they are.
Non undisabled athletes it's acceptable. Yes, they make disabled children run through halls downstairs and through doors because they field outaid or track is being used even at six thirty p m. Yes, you heard me. They have practice at 6:30 PM and they still have to run around the building inside the building and it's 2 floors and 4 gyms when the outside is occupied.
Now, Rick, I have many times repeated the same thing on your videos or even slightly different things. Regarding about the busiest towards disabled children. It doesn't get any any media Exposure.
Why
Because they're not the same just like here. Rich kids VS poor kids. But you've made the distinction.
And when did “indoor track” become a necessary sport for high schoolers? This is where we want our money spent in the school system? Where should the focus should be? We need to get our priorities straight.
Do your research Rick! How many indoor track facilities are there in Mass? You seriously think city schools are only ones to run hallways? I know for a fact almost all indoor track teams in Mass run in halls , that being said I agree 100% that city kids should get first dibs but please do some research , once again your stoking the flames of racism!
I'm not saying that there's not a problem with this situation but I grew up in Midwest City Oklahoma where we ran the Halls every time we needed to run in the winter time and we ran around corners and through doorways and down stairs that was part of our training I don't have a problem with that we didn't have big facilities that have everything that you need I think every child now is spoiled thinking that they have to have all sorts of equipment I think we need to get back to the basics of what physical training is all about it's about individual commitment of what you are trying to be and accomplished I think we need to get back to the grass roots of what athleticism is all about and the individual child is the only one that is capable of demonstrating that if given the right incentives ,motivation and opportunity any sport that they wish to aspire to excel in they can do that in a closet that being said I do not believe in inequality an opportunities for any child to excel in whatever they want to do in developing their own life skills for their future
Let them take the gyms from the gangs. 😮
You mean the rich kids that forces poor kids to leave?
@@jessifer23f exactly. After all don't they think all city kids are thugs. They get mugged enough it will no longer be desirable to them. Bunch of bullies.

There's this thing called money.
There is also these things called streets driveways gyms football fields. Want to fixes lots of problems.
@@jessifer23f There's this thing called jobs.
@@DarthVader1977a kid shouldn't have to get a job just to be able to make it to their practice, especially when said job would likely impose on their already limited time for school work and their sport practices.
You *have* to be pretending to be this stupid
I grew up poor we couldn’t go to a lot of places to play football as you had to hire out the pitch, yet when we did play in these places at tournaments etc we won and ended up getting invited to play 😂😂 Rick you can tell you didn’t grow up poor my friend you don’t have the right mindset
Your comment is asinine
How many IQ points does it take to understand how to use a doorstopper?
How racist do you have to be to miss the whole point?
@@NottyAriesextremely
Obviously that’s the solution right. Buy some doorstops. Nvm the running in the hallway or that students are still there while they run up and down hallways or that somehow the suburbs getting priority when they should not.
@@ER-1.1 The suburbs WERE NOT getting priority, the city students get to go FIRST from 2:30-3:30.
It's a violation to keep the doors open under fire safety statutes GENIUS! But way to deflect.
???? The center is state owned but city ran i don’t see a problem your not a city school you don’t get the field.

State owned. They're the pertinent words in your stupid comment...
Sports are waste of tax money. If you want to play, play with yourself, not my tax dollars.
They foster community, and give kids places to have activities to stay off the streets and not joining gangs.
If you don't want to live in a community, that "clutches pearls" your tax dollar might go to things you don't use.
Pack your shit up and live up in the mountains of some remote national park.
Actually being healthy is a tax saver. Compared to hospital bills, playing sports keeps you healthy. Professional sports is a waste of money.
Actually playing sports sends thousands of kids to hospitals every year. Professional, closer to once a year,. @@1topbaron559
Sure for adults, but for kids the community needs to promote and fund sports and recreational activities. Even for adults it is a good investment in community sports, now corporate sports are not something the government should be funding.
Not on my hard earned tax dollar@@spencers4121
Investing tax payer money in poor and working class people is a bad investment with zero return. Investing money in high income earners and the wealthy is a good investment.
"Give the money to the people who don't need it" - some tool in the comment section, 2023
This is the most irresponsible comment
It's called Capitalist greed !
Greed is a sin !!
Investing in Greed is an abomination !!!
No one knows more about greed than rich people 🤣🤣 greed it their motto.
I know You: You definitely don’t believe it 🤣🤣🤣
@@truthmatters6831 No! It is survival of the fittest. Tax payer money should be invested on high income earners such as doctors and other highly paid professionals and the wealthy. They are the key to a better future. Not the working class and the poor.
I bet the Ukraine high schools are pristine
Why are you taking a local issue and applying it to something global?
Out of pocket
How gross
