OMG, these people are trying to tell us what we have to do with our kids! They are trying to force us to make our kids be fit and healthy. Those evil socialist!
They are not telling you what to do with your kid. They simply said encourage fitness and sportsmanship. You must be one of the lazy parents who doesn't care if you child does nothing but sit around and eat and play video games so you don't have to watch them.
