Regression to the Mean

Human history is not a stock market.

Regression to the mean is not an economic theory.

The biggest variance I see is the physical requirements to exist. The Roman Farmer versus Current Farmer bit. It's not just physical "work" either. People can exchange radical ideas much easier and blow people up with a push of a button. All that required a considerable amount of physical effort in the past.

IDK, has anyone else notice that youth sporting events are really taking a dive?

My children are starting to get involved there and some of the events I have been to seem so disorganized and poorly run. Referees are 80% neckbeards whose parents make them do something so they can say they have some sort of job.

We are falling apart lads. Club sports are like the private schools system of athletics now. No parent that is invested in their children's success in athletics plays in the optimist leagues anymore. That's not just bad for talent on the field but its bad for the food shack too. Mom's that just take their kids to practice so they can make it to happier hour ain't showing up to prepare for a regional tournament like the moms driving their kids to 5 practices a week at 7PM.

Used to go to some HS events and local PTA would have a booth with chili or some brownies or some shit. Schools would go out of their way to fancy the place up.

Anymore, it looks like the athletic programs that don't have a tradition of success are just out their on their own with little support from the community.

I’ve definitely seen that in the local football program, and would have agreed with you a few months ago. Youth bowling has really taken off though. There’s also a minor craze around volleyball currently. I hold out hope that the focus is just shifting away from contact sports.

We need to get away from the shitty team sports. Go back to martial arts, track and field, etc.

Physical education should be about strength training, mobility and endurance, and maybe flexibility. Later on, divert kids to mma, gymnastics, running, or whatever is best for their temperament and body.

This bullshit where they play kickball, flag football, or whatever has to stop.

Swimming, running, jumping, lifting, and wrestling are where its at. Add in boxing and we are good.

A recent study showed kids in government school PE classes spend maybe a few minutes per day at best physically exerting themselves. The kinds of team sports they ate doing mostly involve standing around.

E-"Sports" is this generations new PE.
