no i dont think poor kids shouldnt get to play sports, just think Pay to Play is a good idea...when you are looking at laying off teachers and you still have sports being paid for by the schools that should be something they look at...i didnt have money, and you could pretty much call me poor when i was younger but we came up with the cash for me to travel for swimming...belive me, i know what it feels like to qualify for Olympic Trials and not be able to afford to go...had we had more time we could have raised the money...poor kids work harder IMHO and can make it happen...most schools the richer kids are the ones who play most of the sports to begin with...c
