[quote=Anonymous]My DC spends a huge amount of time and effort (and our money) on a sport that will not play into their college chances. We feel fortunate to be able to support this because of what it does for DC in so many other important ways. If the sport went away, it is not as if DC would suddenly would have time that they would spend to win a Nobel Prize in high school or become first chair in the NY Philharmonic. DC would still be the same person with the same strengths and the same tendencies, and would just have more slush time in their schedule that would likely get at least partly wasted anyway. I would rather they be busy, healthy, happy, driven, and surrounded by friends in real life than glued to an empty screen. I don't care what it does for their college chances _at_all_. I think most sports parents are realistic enough to know that the odds of having a recruited or scholarship athlete are vanishingly low in most cases anyway.[/quote]
