(IMHO) People don't want to see exceptionalism anymore. Everyone is the same, everyone gets a trophy for showing up. If other sports are too hard then we will import or invent a sport that every kid can play. We don't want any kid to ever think they're not good enough. What is wrong, however, if Charlie is good at baseball and Louie is good at trumpet and Mark bakes a mean apple pie? With the loss of exceptionalism goes individualism.
