[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of athletic boys aren’t struggling, nor are the boys. Sun, fresh air and exercise work wonders.[/quote]

The issue at hand is that all boys are not athletic. Non athletic boys should not have extra difficulties in life just because a bunch of spoiled sporty kids and their parents decide to gang up and create a world that excludes them. You are being a selfish jerk and that makes the world worse for everyone. [/quote]

I agree boys shouldn’t need to be athletic but I won’t deny that it helps. It’s the same for pretty girls. Whether it should be that way is not relevant to what is. [/quote]

It’s entirely relevant when you can clearly see parents who think less of non sporty boys and then their own kids act out that disdain in the real world. We don’t exclude ugly people from friendships yet it seems like parents of athletic boys have no problem excluding other types of kids under the guise of being “athletic”. I always thought it was universally understood that a kid should ideally have friends with diverse preferences and who may be from different walks of life but it seems like UMC white parents are all about dominance and winning.
