The views below are not from CSO sports but individual thoughts. CSO is a great site to explore if you are thinking about positive sports participation.
As we begin we will be looking at the power sports has on our world and the individuals within it. The power of sports over our culture has reached an unprecedented level. Pro sport athletes are paid millions upon millions for playing kids games and we idolize them for it.
So much idolization that the pull to be like them has gone to the n-th degree. Athletes have gone to extreme levels with cheating, steroid use, filming of games, stealing signs and anything else that might give them the advantage to gain one of these coveted positions and make the "big bucks".
Will it continue?, of course it will as long as we tolerate it. What is it going to take before we wake up an remember the real reasons we are here? Who knows? Maybe kids taking steroids in the 6th or 7th grade to make the football team and one dying? again who knows? The question is not if that will happen it is when and if we will turn the other cheek as we often do. We are becoming slowly numbed to these instances and every time it is closer to being "OK" and just part of what you do to compete.
As we go we will provide an alternative take on sports and the way sports can have a real and lasting affect upon our lives in a positive manner.
