According to the Guardian, the fifth episode of the latest season of South Park, titled We Be Clubbin', explores the expensive phenomenon of club sports and travel teams. The episode focuses on the gay couple Craig and Tweek, who join a pay-to-play sports team promising a better future and better college applications. The installment also briefly touches upon the US midterms and the defeat of Donald Trump, alongside the return of PC Principal. Jesse Hassenger writes that series mastermind Trey Parker and the writing team vividly capture the exorbitant expenses, mandatory travel, and psychological pressures placed on families by these youth sports leagues. Eventually, Craig and Tweek quit the club to return to being normal kids.
