Sports DO help to teach the value of hard work, working with others, not giving up when things aren't going your way, etc. Look at job listings. Employers want team players. Hmm, where would a kid learn about teamwork?
With healthcare being such a hot topic these days, isn't learning about physical fitness important? What sports program doesn't put an emphases on physical fitness?
What can be learned participating in sports may not be as tangible as an SAT score, but many things that are learned participating in sports can be used in every day life.
There was a time when athletes got a free pass but things are different now. At least around here. Now they have to maintain a certain grade or they don't play. So sports are a way to motivate kids to study. A retired friend is a good example. He got a full ride scholarship. He had never been a serious student until he got to college. When he realized his future depended on his grades he became a good student. His degree got him job interviews. What he learned in sports got him a job that allowed him to move up through the industry and eventually run his own very successful business.
I didn't play sports, or take the SAT for that matter. I never had a prospective employer ask what my SAT score was but I did have one ask if I played sports. Your mileage may vary.
