School Sport Culture

I feel about the points the author makes about school sports culture, leads to violence. Becomes, a tournament against each other, who millions of people, who watch athletes get knocked out. In different regions of the world, people play sports differently than America because, Americans rather watch baseball, American football, and basketball. It is hard for athletes to be an outsider around thousand and millions of fans watching them makes them become embarrassed from people on the stands calling them bad names. Even violence occurs when sport fans hate teams and the players who are not so well doing worse they are playing but they are doing the best as they can to be good. Many other people feel jealous about the coaches or, judges to the athlete to be accuse of cheating.

About the status athletes achieve in schools can be a hero for a day. Young people get attention and get to be popular from witnesses from towns in England and around the world. A legislation called Title IX, passed in 1972, girls are equal spending support in sports and their parents respect to pay the game to watch and cheer for their daughter. Girls’ soccer is bigger than boys’ version. In fact, the women’s team won the last World Cup.

I think it leads to bullying or mistreatment of those who aren’t involved in sports. There are school shooting stories of bullying innocent non-athletic people calling people nerds, dweebs, how they are ridicule and being taunted restricting school “jocks”. A frustrated schoolboy shot two students in Santee, CA because, of bullying. Many other people take sports too seriously and may hurt anyone in P.E. class or, one can be killed, and end up in jail.

My personal experience I’ve had related to this topic, were some bullies who picked on me during P.E. and in Middle School and High School. But, I am glad it is over because, I am tired of being bullied from punks. I wish life was more easy without this.
