Excellent explanation of many "sports" current predicament---Now the big question is how do you solve the problem??? I agree most kids today have absolutely nil interest in any form of any thing to do with automotive, unless a family member was involved either now or previously. The entire US is no longer a car culture, cars for the average person are impossible to work on, and the interest is not there. Cars are no longer an extension of a persons personality as in days past they simply are a mode of transportation from one place to the next.
SOCIAL MEDIA has replaced cars and many other past interests.Kids rarely go outside to play they are glued to video game monitors, computers or CELL PHONES-- Every kid in my area has a cell phone. They don't even call and talk to their friends they TEXT---CONSTANTLY!!!!

They come to my house the cell phones are turned off when they come in the door!!!! You want to use your phone GO HOME--nothing is that important that a teenager needs to be looking at their phone all the time--

I thought the video was spot on and offered the explanation of what happened, how it happened and what caused it to happen and gives little hope of rectifying the current situation in the future--FED 387
