Blaming technology is way to simplistic. The families that live in these communities face a complex set of social, financial, logistical and cultural barriers to participation in well organized an sustained sport and physical activity. The structured community club and school sport systems do not cater for the realities of these communities. Agreed that the way forward is independent non profit organizations that can tailor sporting opportunities to the needs of the people in low SES communities. Priority has to be given to FREE programs that are easily accessible. Schools absolutely have a central role in this.
