At the end of the season an ail-star team of the leagues best players would be assembled to play against the best teams from neighboring towns.Back and forth across the country this system repeats itself from town to town and sport to sport
8、with little variation. Some leagues have storied pasts: baseballs Little League or footballs Pop Warner League. Some are newer. In cities it is often the Policemens Benevolent Association or the YMCA that assumes the sponsorship role. Always, though, there is the underlying idea that organized sport

In sum, there is a slight change in emphasis away from education and toward out right competition.B Competitive Sports Build Character/BEducation is an important theme in youth athletics in the US. Young kids, energetic, rambun
15、ctious, cooped up in class, yearn for the relative freedom of the football field, the basketball court, the baseball diamond. They long to kick and throw things and tackle each other, and the fields of organized play offer a place in which to act out these impulses, Kids are basically encouraged, af
16、ter all, to beat each other up on the football field. Yet for all the chaos, adult guidance and supervision are never far off, and time spent on the athletic fields is meant to be productive.

Teachers at least want their pupils worn out so theyll sit still in reading class.By the time children start competing for spots on junior high soccer teams or tennis squads, the kid gloves have come off to some extent. The athletic fields become less a place to learn about soft values like
18、teamwork than about hard self discipline and competition. Competitiveness, after all, is prized highly by Americans, perhaps more so than by other peoples. For a child, being cut from the hockey team or denied a spot on the swimming is a grave disappointment and perhaps an opportunity for emotional
19、or spiritual growth.High school basketball or football teams are places where the ethos of competition is given still stronger emphasis. Al though high school coaches still consider themselves educators, the sports they oversee are not simple extensions of the classroom. They are important social in

24、ed to Washington and argued successfully that football was an essential part of the campus experience and that the nation would be robbed of its boldest young men, its best potential leaders, if the game were banned.The idea that competitive sports build character, a Western tradition dating from an
25、cient Greece, has evidently fallen out of fashion in todays US. Educators, now prone to see the kind of character shaped by football and basketball in a dark light, have challenged the notion that college sports produce interesting people. Prominent athletes, such as boxer Muhammad Ali and basketbal
