[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this obsession with high school sports. 99.9 percent of the most successful high school athletes won't play professionally. Maybe one out of ten kids at a very athletically oriented high school will play in college. In this era of global competition, all these lacrosse and football players with lcool hair and big muscles are going to end up middle aged bald guys with beer bellies working for an Indian or Chinese kid with a Ph.D in chemistry. I'm even more confused when I read that schools import athletes from other schools just so their teams have winning records - so your son or daughter isn't even playing. You just get more talented people to do the work for you. It's not how it works in the real world.[/quote]
