[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like somebody who was caught up in the whole "jock" thing.  Reminds me of Al Bundy from "Married With Children", where all he has left in life to live for is his memories of that one high school football game - it was all downhill from there to a life as a shoe salesman.  Pretty sad, really.

Why so stuck on preconceptions and sports?  Heck, even building a bridge over the river Kwai builds teamwork, common goals and camaraderie.  Debate team and many other types of competitive events also build teamwork, build  sportsmanship, and so on - only, without the snapping towels at each other's butts in the shower afterward...  And is there some special study out there from the American Sports Psychology Association that says soccer, tennis and the other activities that Basis promotes do not build any of those things, but that other private and public Middle School sports and activities do?  I must have missed it.  Or maybe there really is something to those snappy wet towels, teamwork and sportsmanship apparently are not learned, they are applied topically via wet towel.[/quote]
