American education

Should American High Schools disband their sports teams and replace them with something more inclusive? There is also an unhealthy culture where winning is everything.

That would be a bad idea considering that the idea would draw large opposition among the majority.

I say the unhealthy culture is in saying that mediocrity is to be celebrated.

No, because sports look good on resumes and college applications.

The vines who made this must not have made the team it's pk

We should make it where winning is nothing.

If nobody wins than there will be no reason to compete, and if there is no reason to compete, nobody will ever feel disappointment, and if nobody ever feels disappointment, then they will never strive to better themselves to overcome their shortcomings, and nobody tries to improve themselves, we will finally live in the utopia we all desire.

No sports teaches you discipline and bettering yourself to win. I do believe that no kid should be forced to play sports.

No.

Winning isn't everything but it's pretty damn important.

Life is about winning. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but that is just reality.

I met some of my best friends doing sports. For that reason alone, I say no.

Ooooo... k?

no sport = no fun

Sports are really formative and cool

So my answer is: NO

Culture= American is US despite everything.

Every country I've been to values athletics.

Plus, how are we going to show the world we own them if we don't dominate the Olympics every year? =)

Sports can teach sportsmanship, cooperation, how to win through adversity, and maybe more importantly it can teach you how to handle losing. It generates money for schools. It raises community, team spirit and brings them together. It can also teach you healthy living and keep you fit. It can do all these things.

I personally don't like sports but it's not a bad thing.

Winning is everything you kiddin' me?
