    Everything in the world…reduced to the financial return. It is all for the good of the economy. Even the sports activities of children. Americans already did this with college sports scholarships. Now this thinking comes to England.

    Agree with expanding youth sports programmes though.

      You: This is bullshit and capitalism and somehow America is to blame!
