[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sons have none of it.  19 & 16.  They hate that culture.

They are student athletes that don’t party or act that way.  They are very empathetic, sensitive.  [/quote]

But most male-only sports are inherently toxic.

Especially problematic are lacrosse, tackle-football, baseball, boxing, soccer, water polo, crew, basketball, crew, and hockey.[/quote]

This is a ridiculous statement.

Just keep lying to yourself.

Well, my kids chose to play club instead of HS. So they aren't in the HS culture.  The kids in club are 100% about the sort--don't have time to drink or party.  My kid gets home from HS does 4 hours of HW and then trains with his teammates until 10pm. Weekends they have games, many out of town.  He isn't even going to homecoming this year because of a game conflict.  My older son plays in college and none of his friends drink--these are kids that are very, very into their 'health' 'fitness' for the sport and watch everything that goes into their mouth too.  He's also an academic at a T10 so like the other one---sports and school and laying low w/out booze is their downtime.[/quote]

This is perhaps the funniest and at once the most clueless thing I’ve ever read on this board. [/quote]
