I’m proud to lead the Let Kids Play Act to ban private equity from youth sports and keep this part of the American Dream alive for the next generation of kids.
Ban private equity from youth sports and stop abusive pricing practices through the Let Kids Play Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
“Today, U.S. Representative Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17) and U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced the Let Kids Play Act. This is a bicameral bill to stop Wall Street from pricing kids out of sports by banning private equity firms from youth sports, shutting down the vulture practices they use to jack up costs, and getting money back to the families who have been ripped off.”
“Mr. MURPHY introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on llllllllll… This Act may be cited as the ‘Let Kids Play Act.’”
“The Let Kids Play Act stops Wall Street from pricing our kids out of sports by banning both private equity vulture investors and the vulture practices they use to rip people off.”
Assessments
Deluzio materially advanced the promise by introducing the Let Kids Play Act in May 2026, and the bill directly matches the promised policy of banning private equity from youth sports and stopping abusive pricing practices. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral, not enactment or implementation. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt during the same federal House term, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
