I'm sure you really do believe holding your kid back for SPORTS reasons is good for them. Sad but not unexpected.

If they are lucky, they'll get a scholarship in sports. What happens with sports after that? Well the odds say otherwise.

"What's the worst that can come of it?"

Well I guess if you consider teaching your children that sports success is more important than academic success and that you show them you are willing to sacrifice a lifetime of normal academic and social achievements for a fleeting couple years of on the field success- then multiply that opinion times everyone- well then you can see what a morally bankrupt world we would become.

Frankly, I think we're already there.

So have fun with it Dad- remember- it's not your life your affecting.
