@RickiTarr My father hated sports. I was obsessed with sports, but didn't get much chance to practice or play, because he thought it was a waste of time. One of the nice things about going to college was freedom to spend as much time on sports as I wanted.
Oddly enough, my father's brother is in the North Dakota Wrestling Hall of Fame as the first college national champion from the state.
My son is heavily into soccer. He's hoping to have a chance to play in college.
