  If I thought the premise was self-evident, I would not have wasted my time challenging you. The review you cited covers effects of participation in team sport on physical well-being and certain markers of psychological well-being, but you claimed that sport builds character. Perhaps I assumed a different meaning from the one you intended, but when I hear people going on about sport building character, they're usually talking about their idea of "moral character". This study does not test, let alone support, the premise that sport builds moral character. Did you mean some other kind of character?

      You dragged morality into this when you talked about "character" instead of saying exactly what you meant. :)
