Why is the government pushing this so hard? Apparently, they received a report stating that two out of three girls and half of the boys are not active enough in their school system. In order to improve this metric, they encourage that students spend more hours being physically active. Sounds fair enough right? For some yes, but for others like Soran Ismail it's a definite no.
Soran Ismail, the Swedish comedian, is strongly against sports in school because he feels that it could have a mental impact on the children's life and could provoke bullying. For example, when students engage in physical activity they end up sweating which could lead to body odour. As a result, they are forced to take showers in an uncomfortable setting or they can remain smelly throughout the day which could lead to bullying. Tell us what you think about this situation, should sports be forbidden in schools?
