[quote=Anonymous]I’m new to this one but I think the following is a non-comprehensive list: 1. Sports keep your kid healthy 2. Sports keep your kid out of trouble 3. Sports are fun to play and watch 4. Sports give the family something to do to keep them busy outside of school 5. Sports are a good way to make friends (for both kids and parents) and regularly see others 6. If your kid happens to be amazing, maybe they could play in college / the sport helps them to get into college 7. Sports can teach social skills like teamwork 8. Sports teach your kids values like discipline and perseverance 9. If you’ve got disposable income, what better thing to spend it on? 10. Some parents live vicariously through their kids and get super into it (and often in a weird way) 11. All that said, it’s definitely an American thing just like saying the pledge of allegiance and forging ourselves on junk food. Just part of our culture I guess. [/quote]
