[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused.

So many kids try out for sports that they have to make a lot of cuts.  How is that evidence that high school sports are dead?

They are saying that you can't start a new sport in high school, which is, for the most part, true.[/quote]

This was also generally true for my middle of nowhere not big high school 25 years ago.

There is always so much whining on this board about sports.  People in this area aren’t generally used to being told “no” or not just being able to buy their way out of discomfort.[/quote]

+1 for my public high school 40 years ago (yikes!). You couldn't just walk on to any team you wanted. People got cut from the popular sports then too, and in fact there were fewer sports, especially for girls. Not everyone played sports in high school.

Today, it is the same in public school - not eveyone makes the team; and many private schools require everyone to play a sport, so sports is even a bigger part of hiih school at those schools.[/quote]
