@emptywheel and I say that as someone who played football from 10 years old through high school.
And that's before public schools get rid of PE and after school sports programs. How many potentially elite athletes never get to compete?

@seanpaulkelley You're in TX. Schools are getting rid of football (or not funding it well). -
@emptywheel@seanpaulkelley In my hometown, they killed art, music & history classes before they went after some of the sports programs -
@Uwaine@emptywheel that's just nuts. Indicative of seriously fouled up priorities. -
@seanpaulkelley@emptywheel I know, but sports has a lot of power in communities whether its Penn State or a small mill town in New England

@emptywheel high schools will never get rid of football--as much as they should, it being a waste of money and all.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
