It looks to me like there is a lot more money in school sports in the US than the UK. An upper school here will generally have a sports field with soccer and rugby pitches, but no tiered stands or stadiums. If less kids are playing then that may mean less funds will be available. It's terrible if kids are scared to go to school, but then you have so many serious incidents compared to other countries. I don't think there are simple answers for that.
I would probably agree with that. Some of the districts over here are basically like mini professional stadiums. It's kind of ridiculous. I think the mindset of younger generations is changing and the older generations have yet to catch up with it. At least when it comes to sports.
