On weekends people across the country turn television into sports events such as golf. Scott Stossel said, "Over six million Americans prefer to watch golf on weekends." Parents use sports as an educational tool for their children. Children learn teamwork and training through team sports, and sports also help many students achieve results. Children who wish to participate in school sports are taught to keep their grades or they will not be able to play, but greedy coaches and schools often see the results remain the same.
