Good on ya for not bowing to the sports mafia!!
No problem, FRiend. I have nothing against sports. I like many sports and you’ll need a company of the 82nd Airborne to pry me away from a Braves game.
BUT... I cringe at the thought of the $$$$ we waste on school sports at all levels. I cringe at the numbers of ignorant jockstraps we produce all in the name of a “game”. While participating in sports CAN have lasting beneficial effects on children, far too often the hyper-competitive “win at all costs” mentality and the sense of entitlement they engender amongst the “stars” outweighs those benefits.
You want to participate in sports, or you want your kids to... fine; YOU pay for it. I want my money to go to the education of my kids - and sports plays a very small part in that education.
