The level of importance that the U.S. (generally speaking) places on sports success boggles my mind. You are very much on point here. Think about the high school “star” who was “helped” by classmates in the form of cheating on tests. The sad reality here is that for every Ray Lewis there are hundreds of other athletes who were improperly given help, breaks or passes. In many cases, such help probably did more harm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are kids who haven’t reached HS who are “offered scholarships.” We put a tremendous amount of pressure on kids at a very young age & the feting begins as soon as son or daughter make an elite squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
