SJSinNYC and smalltowngirl, trust me when I say that I’m a VERY involved parent. I didn’t say I woudl prohibit or ban spectator sports from my house. I just have a concern as to their worth given the decimation of the players’ values and morality. I think my kids get much more in terms fo learning teamwork and fair play out of actually playing team sports than they do watching others do it. And I very much encourage that, whether it’s little league or a pick up ball game in someone’s yard. My rotten luck is that my oldest son, like me, prefers to read.
