I surmise that if a coach can teach a kid how to
play football/basketball/baseball or any of the popular
European/Caribbean futbol/soccer, there are rules, principles
and penalty infringements that even a disadvantaged youth
seem to grasp extraordinarily well. A certain structure.

$1.1 million on astroturf to serve the approx 50 players, helpers and
cheerleaders out of approx. 600 students. How does this serve the other 550
students?
Why not spend that money on laptops and technology, and make a

I'll just defer to you guys. I'm not a sports fan. I was a science geek in high

turned what I learned about music, electronics and technology into the careers
that I have today.

buy new buses and send the kids to a better school district with better fields

I can relate... I was also a 'science geek' - still am - LOL.
As I recall, in those days the term may have been nerd.

I guess $1m isn't that much of the annual budget. Let's say the field lasts 10
years.
That's $100,000 per year.
The school will receive 10 x $65,000,000 in state and fed school aid in that
time.
I think that comes out to over half-a-billion dollars.

Sports is not overrated if you participate. It's lack of participation that
contributes to an obese society.
As far as javelin throwing, just WHERE are the cops, when you
really need one?
What does sports have to do with getting a basic education?
Matter of fact, where are all those Abbott
