Rowing is not inaccessible at our high school. Track is also no cut.

It’s not professional wrestling


And amateur wrestling cause brain damage. Are you stupid?


Right. And swimmers occasionally get concussions colliding with each other in practice. Neither are common

Football, yes. No research to support that wrestling does.


Competitive cheerleading also. Very high severe injury rate.

+1 this is the answer for winter season. Sprinting sometimes cuts to keep numbers manageable with the winter influx of athletes from soccer, football, and other sports.

I don't know anything about rowing, but sailing is not rich and/or inaccessible. Check out community sailing programs if you're interested.


Yep. Sailing is a blue collar sport IMO.


You're conflating class and wealth, which are not related in this situation.
