That is the average life of a middle school soccer player. A topic that is often debated is whether middle schools should have a soccer team.

High School Sports Should high schools be all about education, and grades? I couldn’t see myself getting up in the morning excited to learn trigonometry. Let alone be happy in a place like my school. My point would be that I only come to school because I find motivation in the sports that this school has to offer. I tell myself I have to turn my homework in, or I need to read this page, and study so I can pass my test to play Friday night.…
For some time, schools have been debating whether they should get rid of sports to help students improve their education. Many studies have found that schools that provide after school athletics are shown to have a lower academic rate. Therefore, school sports should be cut off because they are a distraction from school work, cost a great deal of money, and cause fatigue. Many student athletes know that their extra-curricular sports may take away from their education.…

This was never a thing that the NFL or pro sporting was worried about about the players kneeing for the anthem was never a big thing. It all started when everyone saw what colin kaepernick taking a knee when the national anthem was playing and they went wild over that but then it spread around on social media but every sport thing in the morning like sportscenter went wild over it. When kaepernick was just protesting his rights the players should take a knee and protest their rights. The NFL and other sporting things just need to let the players do it and not fine them.…

Jim Justice, one piece of legislation would allow home-schooled students to participate in public school sports if it is approved by the governor. House Bill 2196 would allow these students to try out for athletic and band activities. The new rule would also apply to students of private and parochial schools that lack these programs. The bill has been nicknamed the "Tim Tebow bill" after minor league baseball and former football player Tim Tebow.…
An issue that is hot debate is whether people should play sports. A lot of people say that there is a chance that you could get a concussion, hurt, or even worse, you could die. In sports, you take risks all the time. Just stepping onto the field is a risk. But just because there is a risk does not mean you quit.…
The College World Series is a baseball tournament featuring the top college baseball teams in the country. The teams face off to determine who is the NCAA Division I champion. Excitement builds up in the universities as the World Series approaches. Although the excitement brings the players’ attention away from their schoolwork and grades, the players are required to keep their grades up to be able to play.

Cutting Sports in High School Sports are a fun and healthy pass time for most people to enjoy with others.

It is one of the most important things for them such as an artist’s work is everything to them. If a person, especially an adolescent, finds a passion that they want to pursue, they should have the opportunity to.…
The purpose of school sports is to have fun and play the game, but what good is it if children and teens are injured and not having fun with the sport. During organized sports 21%, of teens receive traumatic brain injuries that can last for months or even years. Every year 1.35 million teens and children end up in the emergency room due to sports injuries says Nationwide Children's hospital (NCH). School sports should be removed to keep students safe, and keep them free from parental pressure. All athletes will be hurt at one point playing a sport it can be as simple as a twisted finger to as complicated as a concussion.…
Super Bowl XLIX was the most-watched television program in U.S. history with over 114 million viewers, The World Cup is the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world, and the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight was the most-watched “pay per view” event of all time. As you can see sports are one of the few things that people all around the world can communicate with without having any sort of barrier. So when the debate comes up about whether or not sports should be regulated, it's almost natural to ask why? Why should sports need more regulations when football players walk on the field with pounds of gear on, or boxers have referees, or people are thoroughly informed of the harm that sports do? Why should our energy be focused on making sports safe so that they can be encouraged for positive influences?…
According to the International Business Times, student athletes go to school on average 21 more days than students who don’t play sports. Just showing up to school and being in class helps you, so the 21 more days can improve the student’s grades. Also, an athlete's GPA is 0.55-0.74 higher than a non-athlete. This may not seem like much, but that 0.55 extra points could be what gets you into a better college. If it is true that sports undermine the academic mission of American schools, we would expect to see a negative relationship between the commitment to athletics and academic achievement.…
At first glance many people think that sports are too time consuming. Many experts have done studies that show the positive impacts sports have on children. Sport participation in school does not worsen academic results despite taking time away from class (Maximizing the Benefits of Youth Sport). Athletes know that they don’t have as much time to do schoolwork, which makes them more motivated to use their time for school. Students that aren’t athletes don’t use their free time for school which makes them less likely to do quality schoolwork.…
