Here's an idea: get rid of athletic teams in schools.

Half of the town where I grew up would lynch someone for making a statement like that. While the FOCUS should not be on them, I liked going to them as a teenager. I went back to my first high school football game in YEARS. The old atmosphere was back.

We should have well developed minds and bodies. Sadly things have gotten out of balance in some areas.

One more reason why it's important. What would be the chances of you getting lynched for sayign the chess club or the drama department should be gotten rid of? Sports, far from being a civilizing force for proper behavior, has become an outlet for brainless barbarism.
