<p>Really about sport, I did try and think back in time to find a period where sport wasn't appreicated. Think about even the stone age cave paintings of hunting. Sport of some type has always been a part of history. I agree with curm that the concept is a balanced individual.. scholar and athelete that conceptually is the ideal in our current society and through out history. </p>
<p>While I understand the complaint of easier enrollment for an athelete is bothersome, can someone think of a time where sport(s) weren't a significant part of cultures?</p>
