Playing sports will make you healthier.
Edit: also the whole holding student athletes to a higher standard (need to get a 2.0) makes them get better grades and do better on tests is kinda my point. School sports helps people do better in school and in life. Isn't that what people who are against sports want?

- skizm 13y agoAh. Gotcha. Valid point. I think that is a school by school thing. Not much you can do about that unless the state starts mandating how individual schools glorify different student accomplishments.
