Kicking and Throwing Balls

Today, I shall be talking about how sport plays a negative position in the field of a child’s being. I am not denying the suggestion that sport in school is important to team work skills and all that crap, (though it does seem VERY fishy) but I once again bring up the profound point that time is precious and that wasting so much of it for little would be a terrible air-ball.

Now don’t think that I’m some obese guy whose worst fear is a diet, but the time to play games should be outside-of-school. School should be about learning and expanding yourself mentally, so games should be conducted in leisure times. 

I also find fault with the idea that sport in school is being used as a tool to fight obesity. I can see how people can think that it would be good, but it really isn’t. Those who are active (not obese) usually play sport outside of school and therefore satisfy the ”valuable” teamwork and co-operation garbage and those who are the problem (obese) would first of all not be very excited by the game (otherwise they would have played outside of school and therefore not be obese) and they wouldn’t be active. If, for example, there is a soccer game, the healthy, active children would dominate, while the unhealthy children would do little due to lack of expertise.
Though the amount of time devoted to sport in schools varies considerably, the little time that is devoted to it usually won’t knock off a few kilograms of anyone (assuming that the heavy child is actually doing something). Some people have to exercise hours a day for months and months to lose considerable weight, so I seriously doubt an unfit child is going to be fit by just exercising for around two hours a week, more or less.
Also, whether you’re going to be heavy or not is determined by your genes (source: Exploring Psychology by David G. Meyers, Penn and Teller: Bullshit!) so persecuting someone that is heavy by saying that their mentally inept for self-discipline is wrong; it’s just their genes which they can’t help. So, those programs – sport and all that rubbish being implemented in school to combat obesity is futile.
And oh, last time I checked, the nation is getting fatter; so much so that it’s now apparently the fattest. Boy those programs work like a charm.

Another reason for the implementation of sport is that after a while, energy gets built up and children need to expend it in order to perform better and or settle themselves mentally.

This has to be a joke.

Children waste what, six to eight hours in school? Yeah, I’d imagine children exploding with energy and causing catastrophe if they didn’t get to play some games. Because wow, it’s not like they get any breaks in between classes and before all classes and after all the god damn classes and it’s not like children get a whole damn, enormous fucking break after a whole heap of classes (holidays).

Jesus Christ.

Another reason for the implementation of sport is that after a while, all the lack of socialisation from being in a class would mean they would become psychopaths, or something like that.

There is more chance of a humungous, black dick growing from your forehead then there is of children being socially incompetent due to a lack of a two hour sport session. Holy piss mixed with vodka! Don’t children talk enough in class (not all schools, just the majority) and at home and after school and on Messenger and God knows where else.

And finally, playing sport doesn’t mean you would acquire many friends and be popular and have fun, etc. People assume that by forcing¹ children to participate in activities, they will meet new people and be friends. Usually, that won’t happen. What will happen instead is that the people who ‘hang out’ with each other otherwise, would still do so. Assuming there is no bullying, you will be mixed with your own group or people due to the similarities that caused you to be friends in the first place (when playing games like a soccer game and you’re asked to form a team, children will usually pick their friends and therefore only socialise with their friends).

Surely our leaders are not that stupid; they’re probably just ignorant. So if someone were to go undercover and check out what’s happening, maybe they’ll reconsider this idea.  

¹That’s one small step for the ‘improvement of civilisation’, and one giant leap to a dystopic, totalitarian society. Forcing people to comply with their (irrational) beliefs – sounds…Orwellian.

*I meant, as always, what I said in the general sense. Meaning there may be children who have benefited, but something like 1% isn’t worthwile.
