text: You must put into perspective that if you cut the school sports, students won't be able to support their team as they used to, so another way to have school spirit would be necessary. Their enthusiasm will disappear and, for some people, school won't be fun. That is definitely not the message you want to send to pupils. In addition, school sports transports players to all of their games. For some people whose parents/guardians don't have cars, school sports are the only athletic team they can participate in and barring them from sport activities because of their grades would be unfair to them.
