No, you aren't. Sorry.[/quote 
How incredibly rude and offensive.[/quote]

Agreed. Very rude. The "sports kids" were some of the worst students at my kid's high school. Most parents do the extra stuff just to make sure their kid makes the high school team to pad the kid's resume for college apps. Almost every kid does some kind of sport in hs just for the resume.

Sports are important. It is good for your health, teaches you discipline, and teaches you to work on a team. But sports are just one part of it. Music, volunteering, art, reading.  Those are also activities that make a person well rounded.

No one says you have to be on an expensive sports team, just that you go and play with your friends. No one says you have to take expensive music lessons, but you can actually pay attention in music in school.
