Today I want to post about something that has been angering me for a while now. Over the last couple of years attending CHS I have come to realize the favouritism in the way that the school represents the sports. What I mean (to anyone reading this from CHS) is that the school puts more emphasis on sports such as Football, and Volleyball, and Basketball (of which I am involved in one of these sports so I can say that it has effected me) and they seem to forget that the school has both girl and guy soccer teams, a track team, and badminton. I have become angry with having the school take school off so that we can go and cheer on our football team, but a soccer team has trouble getting a single student to come out to a game. What is worst is when you don't go to a football game you are accused of "not having school spirit" but when was the last time a football player came to a soccer game, or track meet?
I think it is not only completely crazy for people to say that some sports are more important than others, it makes the players hate the other teams because they are expected to take notice of them and not have any notice to themselves.
If anyone who is on the CHS SLC reads this blog, or any teacher reads it. I give you a challenge to bring this issue up, why should a football team get a pep rally where we all go out and cheer them on in school time, when the girls soccer team literally had 3 students from CHS come out and watch their game? I think it is time for the school to become equal and to give just as much attention to one sport as to the other.

Indeed.
ahhh! Little Brother! I am very pleased with this blog! Very true that all sports should be equal! As well I think that the math team, chess club, and all other extracurricular teams should be recognized...Maybe not with a full blown pep rally, but acknowledgment of achievements goes a long way to build self-esteem, confidence, and school pride. So mostly I am saying All strengths of all students should be recognized and celebrated! This is all it takes...One student speaking out to start making a difference! So way to go Little Bro!!
