Yeah that is pretty amazing but not surprising. Just another case of the Majority getting pushed aside for the feelings of the Minority. Not sure I could be a member of the "Y" in the future.
I was a few years ago and to be honest I got sick and tired of paying full membership while minorities payed ALOT less and it was basically becoming a baby sitting camp for neighborhood kids. Crowded weight rooms and bball floors made me decide to look for another fitness facility. They continually tried to cut our swim team programs because of lack of funds.
Uhhh lets see....you give away services to others and expect the "capable" to fund everything but yet when the budget gets tight you cut the "capable" paying families activities and keep the freebie stuff going? Reminded me of gubment tactics. Not me...I took my money elsewhere!
I know not all YMCA's are run like this but certain ones are.
