high school sports

An activity that is given way to much credit than it actually deserves. While the athletes have fun, get all the popularity, get all the recognition from their school, and get scholarships, the kids who work their asses off in school and outside in other activities such as science, robotics, art...(things that actually matter) don't get any acknowledgement. And it ends up that only a couple people from each school actually get scholarships for sports or play for their college but the funding still flows towards high school sports. Thank you America.
