I am upset by the over emphasis of sports on our society. It seems like everything now involves sports. I am not against sports, not at all. I actualy play soccer. But I think we spend too much time focusing on sports. For example: our local newspaper has a huge section dedicated to sports. Scores, play by plays, just about everything imaginable. The schools/ education section? A lousy one page.
Also, at my high school, it seems like sports are the dominate role: at a SCHOOL. Sports banquets, games, ect. Most people don't even know an academics team exists.
Look at other countries. In many other places (like China) education is the most important part of every childs' life.
Sports are healthy and a good way to excersize and make friends, but I think our society is too focused on sports. Do you feel the same way?

    Yeah my school and pretty much like all of Texas is obsessed over football. Even though my team sucks and so does like all of the other pro football teams in Texas. I mean I love sports and I think we should have them but just not so obsessed over just one sport.

    Go TENNIS!!!!!

    Yeah I play soccer for my school too and I love it. I just think society spends too much time focusing on sports instead of things that are more important.

    But I also agree with you I do get sick of seeing the sports page in the newspaper and I don't even think my school had acedmic teams. Because like you said all you hear about is sports so I see where your coming from too.

    I disagree I think our society is way to concerned with watching tv and eating and there needs to be sports. I personally love sports, I play softball for my school and I'm a beast at pretty much any sport except lacrosse although i've never tried it. But that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it and so are you. Sorry you feel that way about sports though.
