Everything in the world…reduced to the financial return. It is all for the good of the economy. Even the sports activities of children. Americans already did this with college sports scholarships. Now this thinking comes to England.
Agree with expanding youth sports programmes though.

If you think of money as a proxy for human effort weighted by two important factors (how much people want that effort, and how easy it would be to get someone else to do the effort) then saving money amounts to saving effort.

A great many of us spent our childhoods with terrible associations with sport. To this day I dislike it, despite not wanting to.
I’m hoping I can make it more fun for my daughter so she can walk a different path.
