[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me it means bloated rosters with kids who will never see the field/court [/quote]

That's the glass half empty. Glass half full = kids have a built in way to make friends, experience being on team, be physically active and get all the benefits of sports. You don't have to be a starter to have a positive experience. [/quote]

If you're the 17th kid on a basketball team or the 19th on a soccer team, the you aren't getting a positive experience unless you really don't care about playing. I went to a school with a sports requirement and we had seniors have to come to games and sit in the stands because our roster was over the league limit. Some were ok with it, but some were miserable [/quote]

I can see that but they did have the option to decline the spot and go to another sport.[/quote]

Even if no one played in 2 sports, which is not true anywhere, there are more US students than playing positions.  So the school requires people to stay very late, but only to serve as bench warmers with no playing time and no desire yo be there.  Seems pretty silly to me.  Huge waste of time for those who do not want to be there.
