Team Sports VS. Academics

from The Long Road · host Ron Jones

How did Americans arrive at the point where we accept children leaving their academic school settings for up to a week at a time to play sports for a club team that has nothing to do with their own school? Some thoughts on the team sport money grab, soaring youth sports injuries, and a breakdown of intellectual culture to glorify youth sports championships. *"Line of Fire" courtesy of Stanley Jay Tucker and the "American Revolution" album.
