[QUOTE="Horacito, post: 724081, member: 71745"] I was expecting for you to come with Argentina. People who play rugby in Arg is burgoise/ small burgoise who ends up studying liberal professions -lawyer, architect, doctor, economics-, they already head to college when they leave high school, wouldn't it be perfect if college supported those kids with studentships in exchange of their sports skills? uh? This is about social class, and social class who plays rugby heads to college, why not to make it easier? Because of clubs, who are a remanent of the amateur sport. NFL is convenient for your argument: 30 sec plays totally different from long time efforts like rugby, but what if you take it to any minoritarian sport like any of those they make so many medalls from in every olympic game, right? Swimming, pole vault, running, jumping, gimnastics... take it anywere you like and university sport makes the difference. Doesn't Australia do the same thing to get the best female swimmers in the world? Correct me if I'm wrong in this one, please. Also you haven't solved the problem of concentration of power within one sole team like it's currently happening in France, for example. [/QUOTE]
