Introductory Paragraph
A controversial topic people have been discussing, is whether or not to keep sports as an extracurricular activity. Based on recent studies, students with less stress can do better academically. Therefore, schools should remove sports to save money, give children a better chance at academic success, and allow students more time for other activities.
Body Paragraph #1
It stands to reason that schools with no sports would save money. In an article by Amanda Ripley she said, “One district in Premont, Texas saved $150,000 in one year, by ending sports” (Ripley 2). Sports have added additional costs such as, “maintaining grass which can cost more than $20,000 a year” ( Ripley 2). Clearly, if sports were banned they could use all of that money on other vital things. Therefore, schools will benefit if they canceled sports altogether, they could use the money for other important things.

Nathan, a former quarterback for his high school football team says, “There was all this extra time” ( Ripley 10). He also said, ” You never got behind on your work” (Ripley 10). Evidently, if sports were eliminated, students would have more freetime. Therefore, if sports were canceled, children could spend time doing things that matter to them, or school work.
Therefore, schools should remove sports to save money, give children a better chance at academic success, and allow students more time for other activities.
Doubtlessly, there would be a higher percentage of children passing tests, and getting better grades, if sports were canceled. Schools would have more money, children would have more freetime, and last but not least, academic success would be improving. The United States only wants to keep progressing in a beneficial way, if we make the change, to cancel sports, we’ll be on the right
