The kids wouldn't want to wear lycra. That's always been an odd analogy to me. People always laugh at cyclists for wearing tight shorts but it's acceptable for football players wearing skin tight pants, wrestling, track and field, swimming. ect. It's just cycling shorts that people talk smack about.

Come on, you're the guy claiming sports give valuable lessons, the purpose of schooling is valuable lessons. Let's have valuable lessons for all.
I think the purpose of organized sports for young people is to feed the needs of the adults who run them. Then to rationalize it we get all the ******** about life lessons and teamwork and such.

I think you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

The purpose of organized sports in high school is to keep all those kids off your lawn.
