[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The experience is fun but it's not like the rest of the school comes out to watch you. You do it because you enjoy it and you enjoy the kids you do the sport with. More limited social experience. A couple of gathering during the season. Maybe a gift exchange if in the winter.[/quote]

No one watches you in golf, and very few students watch tennis.[/quote]

This is a good point as well as the PPs. Nobody's watching or socializing around the sports. So just pick one you like and your circle will be made up of that. That's fine.

It's not like the 80s when you were cool on the football team and your GF wore your jersey and they all wore big class rings with football on them! And when pep rallies were cool! (Pep rallies haven't been cool since the 1990s)[/quote]

Didn’t grow up in the 80s, so not sure what you are talking about. But girlfriends most definitely wear players jerseys and pep rallies are still a thing.

Football is the only sport that has good game attendance throughout the season. Basketball is ok for rivalry games.

Football also has a lot of social activities throughout freshman year, so it’s kind of worth it to do it just for that. But only you can decide how much risk you are ok with.
