One reason schools should get rid of sports is, sports is taking all the money for supplies schools need. Sports is a lot of money because you have to pay for travel, coaches, and many more. Very little money causes bad things that can not be paid for like; mold infested rooms, having to seal of science labs that they needed, and much more. Sports is also causing schools to be shut down. Schools are being shut down from having very little money to fix big things. This proves how sports take up a lot of money.
Another
reason why schools should get rid of sports is, students are getting bad grades. A school in Premont, Texas had shut down sports because of low grades. “That first semester, 80 percent of students passed their classes, compared with 50 percent the previous fall.” Students took more pride in sports than academics. Students did not care about their grades they only wanted a part in a sport. This is proof on how students are getting bad grades because of sports.
Others may think that sports should not be taken away. They also may think that it’s a good idea to keep sports and get rid of other things. Others do not know how much money sports takes away from certain education. It is wrong to think that schools should keep sports when they need the money for something else.
Schools should not keep sports. Sports is taking away most of the schools money. Sports is interfering with students grades. Not having any sports or at least limiting them will help with many things. Schools need the money to keep other things running and not just sports.
