I always saw sports as a form of gambling, but they have transformed into the best job an inner city black kid can get. As a way for those who literally cannot read to get into college. For what? Is it so nations can compete and say proudly their nation is the best at skiing?
Why do you adore sports and competitiveness so much? Are you an athelete if so why? Why do you think its appropriate, too waste billions teaching kids how too play basketball?
How many inner city kids go on to compete internationally in skiing?
Why do you suppose it is a waste of time to teach kids to do what they evidently enjoy doing?
If you disapprove, but participant enjoy it, it is a waste of money, and if you approve, but participants hate it, it is not a waste of money?
