[quote=Anonymous]Really OP? Clearly, you have never spent a whole lot of time in the South. Football down there does NOT start in HS - it starts being intense in the peewee leagues. Baseball also. In a lot of those places where there is not a lot of of "other" things to do, sports is king. And it is SERIOUS business. All of my kids played travel level sports here and it did get intense. However, it pales in comparison to the intensity that I grew up with in my small Southern town where MS kids would get stopped on the street and praised or criticized by strangers about a game. Here, you have a diversity of sports and options with respect to intensity. Don't want to play soccer at a super competitive level? Fine, there are places for you here. I do agree with PP that academic and educational competitiveness here is over the top in this area. [/quote]
