You're spot on Smudgie. The lack of teachers in Primary schools, where interest in sports was 'embedded' in the past, who are able, willing and have the time to promote team sports is a factor. Politicians made it worse by turning sports into an out-of-hours activity. But then, with a handful of notable exceptions, as a breed those who go into politics seem, to me, to be the type who were/are not interested in team games as we on here understand them.
