That's funny! Seems to me all the fat kids who can't run play baseball. A few athletic kids play football. Many Dorito eating couch potatoes play defense. To be fair there are a few positions in football that actually require talent and athleticism. The kids with strong legs and hearts play soccer. They have a good bmi. The real tough and athletic kids end up playing hockey. Swimmers and gymnasts are in great shape as well. Soccer is popular because it's cheap. Just a cup, shin pads and a ball. Trendy suburban school children play lacrosse. Or if you had my hockey coach you had to play lacrosse anytime you were not on the ice. Run run run skate skate skate. Great exercise!
