However there are external costs to sports that other extracurriculars don't have. You also end up spending a lot of the school budget on facilities (stadiums, pools etc) that are a waste of time.

I also broke a ton of bones in my hands and experienced lots of tendonitis for (in my adult opinion) literally no reason.

Group mentality was strong in high school. "Be a strong boy for everyone to be proud of."

Now everyone has moved on and I have lifelong aches and pain for 0 financial or personal gain. I'm glad I specialized in computers :)

There seems to be two approaches to sporting activities: the intramural kind where you’re kknd of just having gun olaying games and the more competitive type where it’s about besting the competition as the main goal. I hope one day we get back to tje more collegial attitude toward sport: bonding, teamwork, fitness and fun.
