document.write( "                <span class=\"comment\"> Argh, I don\'t know where to begin. I normally enjoy your other posts but this rubbed me entirely the wrong way. I agree that Downes\' piece was a pile of tripe, but this post of yours is not much better.<br><br>First I have to take issue with equating sports with aggression. I don\'t believe that all sports are aggressive, and most are not violently aggressive. <br><br>Secondly, while teaching aggression is bad, countless studies have shown that children who engage in sports are more self-assured and more assertive, both of which are good things. Not only that, but enrolling children, both male and female, in team sports helps teach them how to work together in a larger unit for a common goal, how to work with people they don\'t necessarily agree with, and in some cases how to be a leader. These are also good things.<br><br>And to say that we only value boys in sports misses a lot of the current emphasize to enroll girls in sports. If you examine the Title IX statistics from the last few years you\'ll find that more women than ever are going to colleges based not only on academics but also on the sports programs they can be engaged in.<br><br>Sports are not an evil. Sports is not the enemy.<br><br>The real problem is our current culture\'s prudish fear of sexuality, which serves to keep a lid on all things sexual until it boils over into 6th Graders dry-humping chairs. I\'m all for children exploring their sexuality in a safe and healthy manner. I have serious doubts about whether it\'s a healthy exploration when a 12-year-old is dancing and acting like a stripper, but I\'m not going to recoil in fear when it happens." );
