They lead to scholarship opportunities for quite a few kids. They also keep some kids too busy to get in trouble.Ya think?
And because StepPappy is COACH-GOD?
Yeah.
While I'm at it, I could not express my complete contempt for the "value" of hi-skool and junior hi-skool sports, unless I pulled my eyes out of my head and juggled them. Waste of resources, waste of time, waste period. Yes, I know it's not a *popular* viewpoint. I care not. IMO, they're a complete waste of time that should/could be better spent studying, spending time with family, watching clouds go by, doing chores, etc. And don't bother me with the "physical fitness" argument: healthy, active children don't need skool-sports to stay healthy. They need chores.
However, I was never a big fan of school sports either. I always felt like they took over the children's lives and left them no "down time".
