Should team sports still be part of schools?

They're expensive, dangerous, do not contribute to the team members education and actually take up a lot of time, and except for very small schools are limited to only a handful of the kids in a school. Some schools here have seven coaches for one sport and everyone has to pay for them whether their kid is in it or not! Needs a reality check.

The one thing I think is bad about it. At least in my high school. Even though it was said to be an art school. The arts were almost completely ignored while football was everything. The arts achievements were never talked about on our school news ever but anything that football did was the most amazing thing ever. When our choir got first place in a competition it wasn't even talked about for a second. But still I think sports is very important for kids.
