Reply #3: I think organized sports should be taken out of schools entirely.

[Rabrrrrrr]

They're too expensive, they offer nothing of any lasting, enduring, or needful value to the students or the community, and they absorb and destroy far too much energy that could be used in positive ways.

I wouldn't mind seeing some casual after school sports programs, with teams that change at every gathering and where the sports are played for the fun and the exercise. But no more uniforms, no team names, no schools competing against each other... every single bit of that bullshit should be eliminated from our schools.

I am sickened that so much of my tax money goes to support what is essentially a useless, value-less endeavor, while other essential and valuable educational opportunities are destroyed, downplayed, or degreaded.
