Rhetorical Article: High school Sports Effect on school

Ethos:
-"I’m a little skeptical about this, in part because student athletes actually tend to perform better in school. "

-The author describes his position on the topic and does not think highschool sports are affecting the students success in the classroom 


Logos:
-"At this moment in history, now that more than 20 countries are pulling off better high-school-graduation rates than we are"

-"The difference is that 93 percent of South Korean students graduate from high school, compared with just 77 percent of American students"


Pathos:
-"I’m a little skeptical about this, in part because student athletes actually tend to perform better in school. Indeed, students with low grades are usually not allowed to participate in varsity sports."

-"Still, anyone who’s ever attended a varsity football game in rural Texas or urban Maryland knows where high schools are placing their energy."
