[quote=Anonymous]Liberals hear feel-good stories about black kids that grew up playing football and basketball in the ghetto and made it to the NFL through a scholarship at Stanford, and act as if that's the common standard for all football and basketball players, let alone athletes in other sports like swimming, soccer, lacrosse, golf, field hockey, etc. etc. Club sports from a young age is very [i]expensive[/i] and requires high parental involvement, far moreso than an SAT prep class. And students getting into college sports having played only pickup before high school is extremely rare and only getting rarer. College sports is no longer a way for working class kids to go to college on the basis of their talents, if it ever even was that. It's a way for UMC kids to get admittance despite lower academic stats. [/quote]
