[quote=Anonymous]A lot of top athletes are really good students, despite the stereotype of the dumb jock. Not sure why you think they have worse grades/test scores then your kid - you don't really know that, right? So maybe they got in because they have as good or better grades/scores than your kid plus they play sports? Athletes have to learn to prioritize and multitask. Also, sports can be a real unifier at schools in terms of school spirit - plus they bring in the money, as others have mentioned. For sure there are downsides to American youth sports but there are also some real positives for those who participate. [/quote]
