Club Soccer and High School Track

I agree purely based on animal instincts with limited intelligence, but we are talking about humans. There are many females and males for that matter, who look at intelligence when selecting a mate (marriage) and having children with. As humans we are all aware, it's not the biggest and strongest gene that achieves the highest annual income. As for your CEO being 57, there are exceptions....especially, in the tech industry where young entrepreneurs become millionaires and billionaires overnight.

MJ has the highest net worth for a sports athlete at 1 billion, but Bill Gates net worth is 90 billion.

Bill Gates has 3 children. Give him a C+ in the gene-pool power rankings.
Michael Jordan has 5 children. Give him a B+.

What does an A+ look like?
Terry Turnage has 23 children with 17 different women.
Richard M. Colbert has 25 children with 18 women.
Desmond Hatchett takes the record with 30 children with 11 women.

None of these guys have two nickels to rub together. All were high school quarterbacks.*

* I might have made up that last part.

But in the main, most people give lip-service to mate-selection on the basis of intelligence, but actually choose based on desire. Who stares at a woman's shapely brain.

As humans we are all aware, it's not the biggest and strongest gene that achieves the highest annual income. Yes, we are aware. But "income" is as abstract economic theory which developed millions and millions of years after our base biological impulses. I will go with biology on this, and say that both men and women still choose based on their vital urge.

As for your CEO being 57, there are exceptions....especially, in the tech industry where young entrepreneurs become millionaires and billionaires overnight. True. But that is the exception. There are more exceptions in terms of females who climb the ladder, and by the time they get to the top they are too old to reproduce.

As humans have evolved and females no longer dependent on a male who to keep me safe in the caves. Humans male or female this day and age, weigh their mating selection more so on facial attraction, intelligence, education and income. These factors (except looks) dictate, if the individual can provide for a families needs.

. Males can reproduce well into their 60's with a little help from Viagra.

Thanks for the discussion!
 
To bring it back on subject. I agree with Daniel Miller, every player can improve their gait and running form for soccer. There is straight line sprinting in soccer, running down an attacker or beating an attacker down the wing.

It's why Cristiano Ronaldo trained with Usain Bolt.

Cheerleading is a recognized varsity sport.

Technically its "Competition Cheer" that will now be recognized as a CIF Sport for 17/18, which means the CIF will push the US Dept of Education to give "competition cheer" teams Title IX recognition. Sideline cheer, which is what most associate with cheerleading, is not and remains what it always has been.

Wow, CIF is actually concerned about Title IX? You could have fooled me.

For males, football has the largest number of student athletes. For females, the largest participation sport is soccer. Male football players and female soccer players are not given the same resources and opportunities by CIF (or some schools for that matter).

Title IX doesn't require the same opportunities. Rather, it prohibits school sponsored discrimination. In most HS and Colleges, one sport rules ... Football. The second sports behind football is football. The third is probably basketball. Then soccer, water polo, cross-country, etc. Title IX simply requires schools to provide an equal number of athletic opportunities (or at least that is how its been interpreted). Because football is so popular and basically a boys sport, schools tend to promote other girls sports to balance out the fact that their dollars are going to football. This means that the other boys sports have less support and tend to get killed. In high schools you will find girls volleyball, but no boys volleyball teams because ... football and Title IX.

There is a perceived inequity between football and other sports. This is not because of school sponsored discrimination, rather, football is actually a profit center, whereas most other sports are not (basketball often an exception). Football is the one sport that has programs with advertisers, boosters that raise tens of thousand of dollars, and stands filled with hundreds of students and parents (in some cases thousands). The same argument exists between the Men's and Woman's US Soccer teams. Men are paid more because the men generate more money in advertiser and ticket sales.

With regard to the CIF, they actually have initiatives directed at informing the member schools and parents of the various equality programs: http://www.cifstate.org/governance/equity/index

At CIF level, girls are allowed to try out for football and sometimes make the team, usually as kickers. Most larger schools around here also have girls-only sports (although that has been tested) like field hockey.
 
my dd runs the 400 and 4x400 - she told her track coach club soccer comes first and she had to miss CIF for National cup. However she had a blast!

While sex may be on your CEO's mind, he rarely wants a harem of pregnant women following him around with their hands out for child support. Purely in terms of mating strategies, the ignorant, non-condom-using 18-year old quarterback cutting a rut-path through the sophomore class is much more likely to pass his genes along than the 57-year-old CEO.

What the hell . . . . rut-path? Lololol
