I'm amazed you people actually find this news.

My gym class in school was all about competition, and those who couldn't "cut it" found themselves on the bench, picked last for the team, and told their efforts were worthless if they couldn't WIN. Sports and athleticism is all about winning in school, not about hard work, persistance, or even enjoying yourself. Most kids are not naturally athletic and are not imtetested in yet another 2 hours a day of focuse, concentrated work every day!
