The problem is not sports but the undue attention given to school sports teams. In Europe every school has sports teams but nobody cares or even knows who is on the team, nor are matches given any attention or even known about outside the sports teams.
- rizzom5000 13y agoIn many (perhaps most) areas of the US, school team sports serve to represent a geographical area and its community in much the same way as professional team sports. From an anthropological point of view, this is hardly negative or surprising. If sports don't serve this purpose in Europe, there must be something else that brings small local communities together there?
