TheView Wi11 women ever break ま e bronze ceiling? を 4 0 By Maya Rhodan KANISHKA KARUNARATNE JOGS REGULARLY IN San Francisco's GOlden Gate Park, and until recently she never p aid much attention tO its monuments. Then she heard an interesting fact from former U. S. Treasurer ROSie Rios: there are no women among the 22 statues ofhistorical figures in CentraI Park, though you find effgies ofAIice in WonderIand, Shakespeare's Juliet and M0ther Goose. Karunaratne, a legislative aide for San Francisco's board ofsupervisors, decided tO 100k intO the vast green space near her home and was shocked to find it fared even worse. The only female figure in Golden Gate is the PioneerM0ther, who symbolizes the matriarchs wh0 moved west along the Oregon and California trails. And across the 87 statues in the entire city, only U. S. Senator Dianne Feinstein and nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale are represented. "ln San Francisco, where we think ofourselves as this inclusive, liberal bastion Of a city, even we're not dOing well , ” she says. At a moment in the nation's history when statues have never been more political, Karunaratne set out tO change that. She and fellow legislative aide Margaux Kelly convinced city supervisor Mark Farrell tO introduce a resolution that would affrm the city's commitment tO increasing female representation—in statues, street names, public art and appointed commissions—to 30 % by 2020. lfthe measure passes, the city would become the first in the U. S. t0 sign 0 Ⅱ t0 an international movement with the same 30 % goal. The first proJect is an effort to erect a statue at the city's main library ofthe late poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, whO had deep roots in San Francisco. The statue would cost about $ 500 , 000. The resolution would also create a fund for similar projects. lt's a fraught moment for the politics Of repre sentation in America.

He's accustomed tO such focused instruction: the evening batting practice followed a one-on-one fielding lesson in PhiIadeIphia earlier ⅲ the day, which cost another $ 100.

"As long as he keeps putting in this work, he's going to be a really, really solid base- ball player at a really, really high level. ” Already, Joey has a neon-ready nickname—Joey Baseball—and more than 24 , 000 followers on lnstagram.

Joey Erace is an extreme example ofwhat has become a new reality for America's aspiring young athletes and their families. Across the nation, kids of all skill levels, in virtually every team sport, are getting swept up by a youth-sports economy that increasingly resembles the pros at increasingly early ages. Neighborhood Little Leagues, town soccer associations and church basketball squads that bonded kids in a community—and didn't cost as much as a rent check—have largely lost their luster. Little League participation, for example, is down 20 % from its turn-of-the-century peak. These localleagues have been nudged aside by private club teams, a loosely governed constellation that includes everything 仕 om development academies affiated with professional sports franchises t0 regional squads run by moonlighting coache s with little experience. The most competitive teams vie for talent and travel tO national tournaments. Others are elite in name only, siphoning expensive participation fees from parents ofkids with little hope of making the high school varsity, let alone the pros. The cost for parents is steep. At the high end, families can spend more than 10 % oftheir income on registration fees, travel, camps and equipment. 34 TIME September 4 , 2017 Joe Erace, WhO owns a salon and spas in New Jers ey and Pennsylvania, says Joey's budding baseball career has cost north of $ 30 , 000.

That pales beside one Springfield, Mo. , mom, whO this summer regularly made a seven- hour round-trip journey t0 ferry her 10- and ll-year-old sons to travel basketball practice. Others hand their children over entirely. A family from Ottawa sent their 13-year-01d t0 New Jersey for a year, t0 increase his ice time on the travel hockey circuit. A sponsor paid the teen's $ 25 , 000 private-school tuition. This summer, 10 boys from across the U. S. stayed with host families ⅲ order t0 play for a St. Louis— based travel baseball club.

Practice and tournaments overtake nights and weekends like kudzu—Sanchez says they often have to sk1P family weddings and kids' birthday parties. "This sports lifestyle is crazy,: ” she says.
