How do you associate "Notes" to many models?

Rails
1

I’m trying to find the best way to associate notes to many models. I
have a table called notes, and the tables I wanted associated to those
notes are:

players
teams
parents

To accomplish it, would my notes database column just have the
following:

Note

body:string
player_id:integer
team_id:integer
parent_id:integer

That does seem messy, so I don’t know if that’s correct. Is there a
better approach to associate notes to many models?

Does a note need to be associated with only one of the 3 tables for
each instance? If yes, take a look at has_many_polymorphs.
