Glitz and Glamor of HS Sports

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I hate to break it to you, but just as your opinion is that high school sports should not be glorified like this, the general opinion of pretty much all intense high school football programs is that yes, football should be celebrated like this, and that "nerd programs" are just academic extracurriculars that should work around football season.

I believe that it is complete instinct that leads people to want to justify what they love doing with celebration - the more the better. If you want to change this trend, do a celebration for your team when you guys do well. As for the posters...well, the parent council sells them, and I don't know what they do at your school, but at mine stuff like that generally goes to support Prom and other events. I choose not to buy these bits of fandom, but other people like them, love the spirit. Let them have that chance.
