If they can’t teach good sportsmanship, maybe they should get rid of sports.
After game violence again. I find this revolting.
I for one think there is too much emphasis on sports and too little on the sciences, maths, literature, the arts and music. Maybe if top science, math, and literature students were treated more like the premium students they really are we’d have more nerds, fewer jocks, and an incredible number of intelligent people walking about.
Please, please, please let there be more emphasis put on learning than playing games.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a child’s hero was a scientist, mathematician, literati, Artist, or a musician rather than some clown who makes millions running around playing with a ball?
Please, hand your child a book instead of sports equipment…we need smarter kids.
You all have a good one.

Yes, we need more emphasis on academics but we also need a balance between it and sports. Both are equally important.
What we really need more of is recognition of academic achievement. I’ll bet just about every school has an athletic hall of fame but less than one in ten has an academic hall of fame.
Sadly, it all comes down to money. Admission fees for sporting events generate massive amounts of revenue for the school (some support their whole athletic departement just on revenue from football!), while many if not most academic events (like debate club meets) are free.
