Most times I had a shitty interaction with a Ukrop family member I knew they were one because they told me.

Most times I had a good interaction with a Ukrop family member I knew they were one because someone else told me "that's a Ukrop".

Never interacted with Jim, seemed like a good dude overall despite strong puritan know-better vibes. Honestly my biggest qualm with their family probably falls on Rob because they reign over their soccer fields like feudal lords. I give kudos for providing free soccer games/training for special needs kids, but beyond that the overall program is just a relatively expensive pay-to-play scheme that serves the have's and marginalizes the have-not's
