Trust me, I used to say this until one day I realized how awful an argument it is. We should be encouraging kids to play basketball and promoting the health of the sport. Not tricking them then telling them with shrugged shoulders "Hey, if ya don't like it, then don't play." As for the research dollars argument - those students aren't restricted from having jobs or generating wealth independently. [/QUOTE]
