[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what percentage of the sports fanatics’ kids end up with a scholarship to college and what percentage just end up as over weight adults one day. [/quote]

You’re missing the point. Team sports and extracurricular activities are social activities that benefit kids in many ways. very very few percentage of kids play beyond recreational level, even smaller percentage in the collegiate level and even smaller pro. That’s not why you put kids in Saturday soccer!

But I’m willing to bet that the kids who are dragged to breweries every weekend And get little to no physical activity… are the lazies later in life. [/quote]

DP and keep telling yourself that.  First, no one said they go to breweries every weekend.  I’m a PP who mentioned it; I also mentioned my kids swim, run, and do martial arts weekly, just not five days a week or whatever.

Second, when we do go to these breweries, that ends up with lengthy games of tag, hikes through the nearby woods, and/or playing for hours with their friends.  Or did you think they’re all sitting around on their Switches, just to make yourself feel better?[/quote]

DP. A group of us went out for lunch at a brewery with our kids after a softball game. Maybe we're just better at fitting it all in?[/quote]

Maybe you like being busy all day long.  I don’t, and neither do my kids; that doesn’t mean we sit around all day long.  Talk about all or nothing thinking.

Seriously, the inability of some of you to understand that you don’t need to play team sports from a young age to lead an active life is bizarre.  [/quote]

I'm too busy to worry about how you spend your time. [b]Maybe you have too much time on your hands?[/b][/quote]

Oh, the irony.[/quote]

+1. Sports obsessed mom has a hilarious lack of self-awareness.  :lol: [/quote]
