"I think participating in a sport should be a fundamental right, it brings so many benefits."
I agree with most of that. But it helps if you've got coaches who are fair. Unfortunately I had some bad experiences with corrupt parent-coaches. On the education side, some teaches were the same way. That politics of it all kind of robbed me of any illusions of sports building character and all that. The fitness side is good of course, but on the other hand I can't help but feel like they just used school and scholastic sports to choose life's winners.
