Working in a public school district I personally feel that too much focus is put on sports these days and not enough on why we are all actually supposed to be here. Now, before you string me up, you need to understand that I love sports and I think that being involved in sports is a good thing for students. It helps them become well rounded, good problem solvers, and socially adjusted. Where I have the problems is when the administration(s) and communities place so much focus on sports that academic things fall by the wayside.
