[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Asian and in my circle of Asian friends, nobody cares about having their kids play soccer, football, or basketball.  We only care about golf or tennis.  That is because most, not all Asians, consider soccer, football, and basketball a low class, while it takes a lot of money to get good at golf or tennis.

If you look at the golf and tennis roster at Langley, McLean, Oakton HS, they are mostly Asians.

Not just Asians.  No one with very smart kids that have a bright academic future without a sports scholarship is putting their kid into football or basketball [/quote]

What about track & field?

Are asians just avoiding sports with athletic, well-trained Black kids? [/quote]

No they focus on life long sports with no favoritism[/quote]

Go to the soccer, baseball, or basketball sections, and you can read all the complaints from parents about their kids not being selected for the team, even though their kids are better, due to favoritism or nepotism.

You don't have that problem in tennis or golf because you can't argue against the score.  [/quote]

Agree. Sick of the bullying and politics in team sports. Non rec.
Parent coaches are the worst and parents teaching their sons and daughters to bully others is a big problem.
Many natural athletes gravitate towards the team sports but something like tennis, golf or swimming is much less disappointing people-wise.   [/quote]
