[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Americans so obsessed with kids sports? I am just baffled. All these parents worried that if they don't start X sport at 5, then their kid won't have a chance of making their HS team. Really, who cares? What am I missing. Team sports are a giant pain in the ass. There are so many other activities kids could be doing that are easier to schedule. I get that it's great to be on a team and it has positive benefits etc but that applies to a rec team, or any other activity that has been sacrificed to do the team sport (an instrument, individual sport, more focus on academics, more sleep, less stress). [/quote] Because ppl are obsessed with being busy. And they have this crazy idea that kids are less than or will be couch potatoes or trouble makers without sports. I agree with you, it's crazy.[/quote]
