I was always picked last in sports games.
In fact the pickers usually argued over who would be stuck with me............
I actually hated sports. Was drafted into the NFL, if that tells you something. I opted to go elsewhere.
Literally played to get out of my small NM town and peer pressure. Would rather watch paint dry.
I’ve spent exactly 0 voluntary seconds watching any sport on TV in a decade.
I do value sorts as a teaching tool. You learn to push yourself beyond your limits and to play hurt, which is a transferable skill to life. And how to get along (and even like) morons.
